When You Can't Kill the Ones You Hate

On the eve of another 9/11 anniversary, let's re-examine the whole "why do they hate us" question from that day we were attacked. The case is Thailand, where terrorism is up despite the success of the Thais in protecting the non-Moslems of the south where the jihadis operate:

In response, the terrorists are using more bombs, and more attacks on Moslem southerners (who are not guarded as heavily as the 20 percent of southerners who are not Moslem.)


There you go. More bombs and, of course, hate the ones you can kill if the people you hate are too difficult to kill.

So are Thailand's Moslems wailing and rending their garments trying to figure out why the jihadis hate them, assuming the victims must have done something to anger the bombers?
