So you want to stop the suicide bombers?

"Last week's attacks on London have once again stoked the fires of debate on the causes of terrorism.

One of the arguments runs that "terrorists don't hate what we do as much as who we are". This is articulated by the neo-conservative Wall Street Journal and others. In an editorial on Friday, entitled "7/7/2005", the argument postulates that to "retreat from battling the Islamists in the Middle East would only make it easier for them to take the battle to us at home, as they did yesterday in London". This is essentially a rehash of President George W Bush's official position that contends that we fight them over there so we don't have to fight them "at home"."

Funny how Tibetans don't do suicide bombing.
