Again with the blaming Al Qaeda. The official findings are that the evidence points to a group "associated with Al Qaeda." I'm "associated with" all of you. "Associated with" means basically nothing. I'm not saying that Al Qaeda isn't bad; I'm just saying that you should be accurate when laying blame.
One thing that people fail to take into account with terrorists is that their biggest demand, even if unstated, is "Pay attention to us." Whatever group did this has probably already achieved their goals without even listing any demands. They have our attention. They want us to say that we aren't going to give into their demands because not only are we paying attention, but we are actively refusing to fix something that might actually be a problem. They give us a reason to actively refuse to fix a possibly legitimate problem and our refusal to fix it gives them the ammunition to recruit more members. In some cases it encourages us to invade some foreign country killing innocent people, giving them more ammunition for recruiting members. This is about one group's attempt to get power, not about achieving their stated demands.
