Terroism and Revenge

I sent this letter to Jeffrey Goldberg at theAtlantic.com about his take on Terrorists' motivation. Read it here.



Hi

I found your recent post on theatlantic.com about the supposed myth of terrorist being motivated to commit their crimes as revenge for America's crimes interesting. Supposing that these terrorists are not reacting to America's own acts of terror, why do they do it? Is it because they are inherently evil people?

Also, could you understand a young Pakistani man whose family was killed by an American drone reacting in a way similar to how the potential time square bomber did?

Thanks,
