The Pentagon, MMORPGs, and Catching Osama
MarkRH writes "I know, it looked like a troll to me too. But apparently a Pentagon-funded group, the Highlands Forum, is investigating the possibility of fighting terrorism by postulating that terrorist networks are similar to the online communities found in MMORPGs. By studying interaction within a community like Everquest, the military hopes to find hints on how to crack Al Qaeda." See also the "Uncloaking Terrorist Networks" post of several months back.
The real menace lives in Israel. Nuke those fucking jews to hell!

These people aren't driven by pure evil but rather extreme frustration
You forgot to add "and a massive dose of ignorance and intolerance." Of course I just described fanatics of all shapes, sizes, and colors whether it be terrorists, right-wing fundamentalists, or richard stallman (sorry couldn't resist).
You're one of those idiots, then.
Blame their shitty life under an oppressive regime that brainwashes its citizens into believing they have to fight the "infidels" and "the great satan".
"Root of their frustration". HA! 800 years ago the European nations went out to kill them all in the Crusades and by God it's time to do it again. Only this time we should be merciful and spare as much common folk as we can, but completely destroy their ruling class. I'm talking about the kings and dictators that have sex with their 1000 wives are left in poverty.
Right. Their "frustration" is that we all won't be good little subjugates and convert to worshipping their false moon god in the clothing of the Lord.
"Convert or die"
Would you shut up already?
