All forms of reprisal terrorism have an underlying cause. This is conveniently and constantly nudged aside in by far the bulk of mainstream reports of 'terrorist' attacks and activity.

Nobody straps explosives to their body and then detonates it for fun. Total repression and oppression of a people is bound to produce a knock-on effect when such people no longer see any purpose or future to their lives.

When military powers launch drone attacks on foreign soil–attacks that indiscriminately kill–such activity is not described as 'terrorism' but as 'defence'.

For years the western media has been instrumental in grooming populations not with the true facts, but with the motives of an underlying politcal agenda. America, with all of its resources and capabilities, has become little more than the kingpin armed bully of our world, leading subservient allies into interfering with the lives of others and with whole nations  as it reaches out to grab resources with scant or no regard for those it plunders and interferes with.

As long as those elected into leadership office turn aside from examing the true underlying motives behind so-called 'terrorist' attacks, we will continue to live in a greatly unstable and troubled world.
