Since 2001, a huge increase in suicide bombings
Out of 658 attacks worldwide last year, 542 were in U.S.-occupied countries

Suicide bombers conducted 658 attacks around the world last year, including 542 in U.S.-occupied Afghanistan and Iraq, according to data compiled by U.S. government experts.

The large number of attacks -- more than double the number in any of the past 25 years -- reflects a trend that has surprised and worried U.S. intelligence and military analysts.

More than four-fifths of the suicide bombings over that period have occurred in the past seven years, the data show. The bombings have spread to dozens of countries on five continents, killed more than 21,350 people and injured about 50,000 since 1983, when a landmark attack blew up the U.S. Embassy in Beirut.

The people with all the "intelligence" are surprised?? They clearly know nothing about terrorism and the people who use it. You don't fight it with troops, you fight it by changing the conditions these people are upset about in the first place.

Contrary to popular belief, they're not just automotons programmed to go out and blow things up for no good reason. They're usually highly educated and the reasons for their actions are political, not religious. The reason we don't know that is because the media is too stupid to find out. Nobody really wants to answer the question "Why?" because they wouldn't like the answer, which would invariably implicate the United States in one way or another. They can't reveal that we've done something wrong - that would be "un-American".

Amen Jenna. Our Media is nothing but a press agent for state propaganda. The few real journalists left are completely ignored by the MSM.
