Why do it if you know the consequences?

Because it is the lowest common denominator.
Hate doesn't cost anything. Fear is even better since the spread is across all levels, and it costs just a few cents per hundred.
Power is the drug that's legal across the world. We all crave it, even in day to day living.

Because you don't know the consequences. On many people and some nations governments , Spain for example, terrorism works. And hate speech brought Germany out of a hell of a depression in the 30's. Terrorism has been around forever, we just used to call them anarchists. Today they are better organized than ever before is all, and they have better weapons.

They use it to win. They want to win so they can keep looting the country--the Republicans I am talking about. They never consider consequences, they can't think any farther into the future than 5 minutes, thus, the Iraq War, now the General Middle East War. They are like impetuous grasping greedy children, they never put any thought into what a sensible position is on an issue, but only how to con their followers into swallowing the bait.

Bush seem to do it pretty well, don't you think? Here is a deserter who got America to go against a person with 2 Purple Hearts and a Silver Star!
I don't care what he did with them after. I still haven't got mine from the Army, and have not received the Korean medal either!

People use terrorists attacks for political gain BECAUSE of the consequences. They want to draw extreme attention to their cause so they bomb, kidnap, and kill in order to raise awareness.

We have a lot of stupid americans and not many are intelligent to sort out the bull from the factual statements. Hell people in flordia couldn't even figure out the ballot. Yes, I'm still bringing that up I was outraged.

They got either terror or the victim card to play with. Chosen indeed.

It will distract from obvious short comings and eventually get you elected, err...appointed, President of the United States.

Because fear is the number one motivator.
Get people scared, tell them what they should be scared of and how to get rid of it, you'll have them at the palm of your hand.
