I strongly agree that we have all generally failed to point out the futility of this kind of terrorism. We refer a lot to our pride, to our might, to our way of living, and all that--which sounds to them like just another load of American bullshit. Some terrorist movements have been extraordinarily successful, but the difference is that those were movements with clear and realistic objectives, and also with political wings that were prepared to negotiate under the right circumstances. Al Qaeda has no realistic objectives and is not prepared to negotiate under any circumstances.

Terrorists defy all comprehension. It irks me that the media and governments around the world don't spend more time focusing on their impotence and what it is that made them take this course instead of simply calling them names like barbarians or thugs. Somehow, they need to see that they will never succeed in stopping the world from changing around them. This seems to be their biggest complaint against everyone, even their own people.
They are making the classic mistake of thinking they can change the world to how they think it should be instead of adapting themselves to it. In the end, whether they get caught soon or die of old age in hiding, the only thing they will have accomplished is destruction. The men who hijacked the planes in the 9/11 attacks didn't go to paradise, they simply incinerated themselves and caused untold grief. The same with suicide bombers and the insurgents. All the people who've been beheaded or shot...all for nothing. None of what they do is going to stop what they're fighting against.
I wish there was some way for people around the world to tell them about their futility. Maybe eventually it would get through their wall of hatred.
