Terrorism saw light already in Tsarist Russia in the nineteenth century...What I think about Terrorism
1. It was first planned by Germany when they were on the verge of losing the WWI. They were looking for alternative ways to survive and theorized that their ally the ottoman Caliph can incite terrorist attacks on Allied Colonies such as in India Egypt or Algeria. However it didn't materialize as Germany lost quickly.
2. American intelligence knew about the plan and used it in cold war against Soviet Russia. They modified the plan and in absence of a caliph they took pakistan's help to preach the dangerous ideology in Afghan refugee camps. Pakistan was licking it's wound of 1971 and was happy to help.
3. According to cold war era spies, after accomplishing mission, the super power sused to eliminate their own agents. However Islamist terrorism was a Frankenstein they couldn't eliminate. So it grew and became a problem for its creators.
4. No one supported IS. But when USA Israel and Turkey realized that they can be used against Iran they allowed it to grow even more.
5. I don't rate mossad that highly. They are only good in eliminating individual vulnerable enemies as tourists....
