Suicide terrorism

After the gruesome September 11 attacks on the United States, people everywhere were educated about the radical relatively new wave of terrorism: Suicide Bombings. People were scared. Our government officials were scared. They had good reason. It is said that suicide terrorism is the best counter to counter-terrorism efforts. These attacks frequently occur in random and unpredictable places. Common targets are areas with large crowds of people, and minimum security such as transportation hubs, malls, big cities, and business buildings. A suicide terrorist is an individual who intentionally causes his/her own death with the aid of explosive devices in order to also cause the deaths of many other people. Typically, civilians and non combatants are targeted by suicide bombers. It has been a strong topic of debate as to whether or not these terrorists are sane individuals. I adamantly oppose the idea that any terrorist is capable of logic or reason, no matter what the ideological, religious, political, or emotional cause.People who resort to terrorism have psychological inclinations to do such. Terrorism is a method of social control used by those individuals who see no other alternative. Predispositions to murderous and suicidal behavior can result from fear, anxiety, narcissistic rage, depression, or some other facet of the mind. There is no logical rationalization of sacrificing one's life or the lives of others in order to create mass murder in the name of religion, politics, or ideology. Suicide terrorists are convinced that by sacrificing themselves, they aid in a greater worthier cause.
