I should have said, in the more recent years the Islamic terrorist groups have target the United States.

Of course there were others that were attacked. I never said there wasn't.

RAF (Red Army Fraction), it seems had at least logical reason for their actions (as twisted as it was). May of 1972 their target was an US military base in and Army HQ in Germany before starting to murder and execute German officals.

Northern Ireland and IRA was really never an American issue.

Madrid, Spain 3-11-2004 was to have Spain get out of Iraq, again because of hatred towards the US. Unfortunately, the people of Spain decided to appease the terrorist.
