What is the goal of terrorism today? In Israel and Palestine the terrorists continue to bomb, shell and generally create havoc. It doesn’t make much sense.

In Iraq, most of the victims lately are fellow Iraqis. Why? What are they trying to prove?

It seems that the goals of the terrorists have taken a backseat to the mission to create terror. In Israel and Palestine, the Palestinians are getting what they want: a pullout by Israel. Yet they continue to kill people. Israel, rather than taking the chance to ratchet down the level of violence, instead continues to target Palestinians with their military.

In Iraq the goal was at first to drive the US out of their land. So why do they continue to kill their own people? What’s the purpose in that? Personally, I am tired of all the killing. It seems to be the only thing on the news at times.

Terrorists seem to be unable to stop their own actions. If in Israel and Palestine, the Israelis are moving out, why take the chance of bringing them back in? Are they just so used to killing each other that it seems to be all that they can do now?

Personally I am a pacifist. I think that killing is wrong, no matter what the situation or conditions are. I can’t see the point in the terrorists continuing to kill their own people or their enemies when they start to get what they want.

Then it begs the question, where are the terrorists getting their supplies and funding from? Perhaps someone who is making a tremendous profit from the sales of weapons and munitions. In the US I would point the finger at the CIA, but of course I can’t prove anything. But in the past the CIA has made its business to destabilize regions. Perhaps they are back to their old tricks, if they ever stopped them, that is. If they are, how does that make the US safe?

In the middle East, the terrorists have said that they want the US out of the region. If the US were to give them what they want, would they stop? Or are they now killing just to be killing? As I said, I just want them to stop.
