Terrorism is hardly "new." Certainly a little history would reveal similar operations going back hundreds of years. Heck, in the first century Roman occupation of Israel, there was a group named "The Zealots" who were fond of assassinating civilians. I'm sure that they would have hauled backpacks full of explosives to the nearest sidewalk cafe, had the tools been available. Terror as a "new" idea? Only if you haven't read your history.

But that's a small point. I've honestly never liked Vonnegut's writing. People told me for the longest time that I'd love his work, so I finally broke down and read some. Somehow, it just didn't click with me. Too bizarre? Too random? Too dark? Don't know, but I'm not at all sure I like his writing. I know that I disagree with his views on terror.
