That Which Cannot Not be Spoken: Why Do Terrorists Keeping Picking on the United States?

by William Blum from Counterpunch. Re the "underware bomber":
Is that not odd? That an individual would try to take the lives of hundreds of people, including his own, primarily to "provoke an overreaction", or to "sow fear"? Was there not any kind of deep-seated grievance or resentment with anything or anyone American being expressed? No perceived wrong he wished to make right? Nothing he sought to obtain revenge for? Why is the United States the most common target of terrorists?
