Bombing a city full of people to destroy a bioweapons plant, same thing. However, blowing up a crowd of civilians at an event that has no bearing whatsover on anything military is cowardice in its lowest form. Cockroaches i'd say.

Well, it does have a significant bearing on the US military. How does one get the US to spend $1-3 trillion on wars in Iraq and AFG and an international war across the Middle East and North Africa? Fly two planes into two tall US buildings; for icing, target the Pentagon and Camp David.
Terrorism can be extremely cost-effective and isn't at all cowardice. It takes a lot to kill yourself or to wage a war against the Strongest Country in the World.

The Boston bomber was not suicidal like the 911 boys. He planted a bomb and thought he could do so undetected. He killed women and children in a cowardly fashion - if he had any balls he could have hit a military target or at least a police station. I wouldn't call the 911 boys cowards, but the Boston bomber was a coward.

The 'underwear' bomber didn't kill anyone, and had insurance companies and airliners face billions in underestimated costs due to risk.
All of these terrorist incidents in the US reaffirm the public's desire to endure a marginal loss in civil liberties for more perceived security (the latest poll shows that the desire is declining, but I'd expect the "National Security State" to ignore that while it wages its wars). Terrorism can get the government's counter-terrorism to become counter-productive.
Ha, World's Mightiest Cockroaches, but if anyone's a cockroach, it would be those who subsidize oppressive regimes, something which many terrorists dislike and are responding to.

The motive is radical Islam, and their general hatred of the West. It also appears they were more motivated to do this because they were pot smoking losers.
I guess that one right in saxi's thread btw (continuation of the streak of drugged up losers)

Wut?? "Pot smoking losers"??? Are you insinuating that those who prefer a benign drug - for which there is no proof whatsoever of damage to brain cells - to alchohol - for which there is a plethora of medical proof of serious mental and physical damage, are "losers" because of such a preference? They are losers because they follow a religion that is stoopit beyond belief and they follow it because it is their heritage, not because they've personally proved it to be true.
What is your obsession with pot? I've been through rehab for a bad coke habit and i've worked as a counselor in 2 different rehab facilities in the past (i no longer do so because i smoke pot and drink now) and i never saw or heard of anyone in rehab for pot. I myself never felt like fighting on pot, but i've had quite a few while drinking. The war on drugs has turned countless people into antisocial criminals who would otherwise have turned out to be productive citizens. The war on drugs has done far more damage to the American populace than the drugs themselves and it is one of the great evils of our time.

No, my bad. I meant to stay consistent with "drugged up", being that Lanza was heavily medicated and Loughner was abusing drugs pretty heavily,and so were these bombers in Boston. Nor did I mean that they were losers just for using drugs. Just that I bet they were on some kind of drugs, and that they were also losers. I have no idea why I used pot smoking there.
