ORIGINAL: TieMeInKnottss The Iranian government has "condemned the bombings" as unnecessarily violent... When the people who invented terrorism (or at least made it a household word) are trying to distance themselves from you...you are pretty low. On another front, their uncle here in MD answered the question of "if he knew why.." With the response of " because they are idiots. I have always told my side of the family to stay away from them" Not to be picky....but I thought it was the Irish that invented "modern" terrorism(please remember I am Irish myself,so no gratuitous flaming is necessary )certainly it was Michael Collins and the IRA that perfected the use of the bomb as an effective terrorism tool. The IRA ,under Collins leadership, was the first organization to make use of the car bomb ...... That was why I added "made it a household term". Terrorism, in some form has probably been around for centuries, many elevated it to an art form... But, in the U.S, I don't think it became common knowledge until 1979.
