Further proof(imho) of Cato's slide to the left.

Further proof that Libertarians, just like the Utopians of the far left, believe that people will do irrational things (like blowing themselves up) for rational motives.

That, IMHO, is not rational.

I may or may not be a good reason, but you can't persuade someone to kill himself and others for no reason. It may be irrational by our standards, but dismissing it as incomprehensible insanity makes it impossible for us to combat it.

Agreed. And Pape misses the fundamental precursor skewing-radicalizing-of the target population of the recruiters. That has already been accomplished in full in the radical mosques and madrassas. All these recruiters then is throw the match of a specific perceived Western provocation into the pool of gasoline of the existent islamo-nazi insanity/.
