Subject: Terrorism as "God's work"

"Like the attacks led by Osama Bin Laden and Ramzi Ahmed Yousef in recent 
years, the horror we just witnessed was evidently motivated by crusading, 
messianic, fundamentalist religion, an unswerving conviction that to 
destroy America is to do God's work. Since this form of terrorism has no 
other political goal, there is no reason to imagine that world opinion can 
exercise any brake upon it. And since it didn't succeed in destroying 
America, we should expect that there will be more to come."
