This terrorist stuff suddenly reminds me of my assignment from my political economy class when I was in Sweden. We were obligated to summarize an article every week. So this is one of those.
Terrorism is a realist action that is really well-planned. A lot of people think that terrorism is an action that is done by some crazy people who are out their mind. But the fact it's really a realist action that needs plan just like business campaign.
According to Alan Dershowitz's article "Why Terrorism Works" Terrorism is an entirely rational choice to achieve a political objective.It is indeed a decision based on logical processes.
Palestina is one of the best example of country who has high chance of success in terrorism. Palestian terrorists take the distinction between outcome and process into account.
From that point of view, we can conclude that terrorists have some rational Characteristic as follows:
Purposiveness
Terrorists do their action as a purposeful activity
Logic
Calculate the sufficient harm that may happen against the power of target places in order to accomplish its objectives
Timing
When they are going to do the attack depands on changing strategic circumstances
Target selection
Terrorist groups choose their target based on the political objectives they aim to
Learning
Modern terrorist generation learn the procedure from their formers
Well I don't like politic things but it's not bad to know some interesting facts about it. :) :) After all it seems that we'll never make the world a better place to live because the world is getting worse from time to time. All we can do is waiting until the world time is up and before that happens let's concerning about the way we make our life worth to be judged in the next life.
