When the suicide pilots of Sept. 11 died, they made nonsense of the notion that terrorism is carried out by "senseless" individuals and that the solution to terrorism lies in "bringing to justice" the bombers and trigger-pullers.

The terrorists were not madmen living on the edges of society. They came from well-established families. They had more than casual contacts with the political movements and intelligence services of their home countries and those of neighboring states.

They acted on behalf of international causes that are the main sources of legitimacy for some governments of the Middle East, and that are tolerated by all.

The terrorists of Sept. 11 have received their justice. But if it's true they acted as soldiers, the question arises: whose soldiers? Who is responsible? Whose death will bring us peace?

Islam is not responsible. It has been around longer than the U.S. and coexisted with it peacefully for 200 years.
