Terrorists don&#x27;t randomly spawn. They are made.<p>Much terrorism is an externality of Western foreign policy and a nation&#x27;s abuse of it&#x27;s citizens (domestic).<p>Whether Snowden or encryption enabled terrorism or not is TOTALLY missing or deflecting the real conversation that should be occurring. Do not fall into the trap of arguing. Ignore statements like OA. Instead ask &quot;Why are people willing to kill themselves and others?&quot; &quot;What has France done &#x2F; is doing so that people believe that is their best redress?&quot; &quot;Why do people become terrorists?&quot;. Most import of all (and the only way we will end terrorism). &quot;How can we change the world so less people are compelled to such drastic action?&quot;
