I was doing some research and came upon this book that I had forgotten all about: Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism by Robert Pape.
Many of us continue to have trouble convincing people to support Ron Paul because of his foreign policy. This book proves that Ron Paul is right when he says they attack us here becuse we are over there. We should use this as evidence:
Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism is Robert Pape's analysis of suicide terrorism from a strategic, social, and psychological point of view. It is based on a database he has compiled at the University of Chicago, where he directs the Chicago Project on Suicide Terrorism. The book's conclusions are based on data from 315 suicide terrorism campaigns around the world from 1980 through 2003 and 462 individual suicide terrorists.
"The data show that there is little connection between suicide terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism, or any one of the world's religions. . . . Rather, what nearly all suicide terrorist attacks have in common is a specific secular and strategic goal: to compel modern democracies to withdraw military forces from territory that the terrorists consider to be their homeland". It is important that Americans understand this growing phenomenon.
