        Most terrorists justify their actions in that sense. Their actual motivations may not be nearly so focused, they may merely be inadequate fags trying to assert themselves through crazy behaviour (a lot of the 9/11 hijackers fit that profile) but in general the rationale is that the authorities are terrible and evil, but "the people" have become complacent, so to shock them into revolution you clearly have to blow random shit up, right?
        
        You'll see that sort of thinking from both Ayman Al-Zawahri in the eighties and the various leftist communist urban guerrillas in Europe during the Cold War.
        
        What's unlikely and implausible here is that white middle class Americans, no matter how screwed by the system they become - a group of people who have become less and less violent decade over decade - are supposedly the ringleaders of this terror movement.
        
        Political violence is just an element of general ambient violence in a society, it has similar root causes to violent crime, and those root causes do not exist in the US, and probably won't, amongst its middle class population. So the whole thing is pretty fucking shallow, and also hammy. There's about as much thought put in this shit as in a season of 24, but the behaviour of the terrorists in terms of their tactics is fine.
