I don't really agree with JC's assertion that "these are not just acts of terrorism but acts of torture and violation that are not synonymous with the IRA or ETA or Hamas or any of those organisations of minorities with genuine grievances."
Just because usual terrorist tactics are, by and large, mindless, does not make them any less evil IMO. The same goes for the "Allies" indiscriminate bombing of Iraqi cities..... the end result is the same, death, misery and horror....
