Your error is that not everyone views the world from a western Judaeo-Christian mindset. Whether an individual decides to run amok with a machete which will end in their near certain death or an organisation chooses to commit an atrocity that will unleash revenge across a multi-faceted array of intelligence, resources and co-operation with 21st century technology, the same parameters apply. To a very different mindset, the act is always more important than the consequences.
In some parts of the world, it is still the middle ages and those guys have some rather nasty toys and a particular set of beliefs.
Remind me which country the perpetrators of the 9/11 atrocity came from? What was the response against that country?
The acts of individuals are very different to the acts of a nation state.
Pakistan has nuclear weapons. Are they on your list of people with different beliefs.
This warmongering idiocy has to stop.
Remember Iraq and the lies over WMDs.
