Terrorism is nothing of the sort. It`s long been proven that terrorists never act out of desperation: they act by calculation.

All civilized societies have banned expressing one`s feelings at the point of a gun.

Most people in the world feel frustrated and angry every day, but they don`t go out on a killing rampage to vent their frustration.
