Terrorism and Berkeley

The prevailing (stifling) sentiment at Berkeley is that terrorism was fabricated by the Bush "regime" and propogated by Fox News to justify oil ambitions. An article in the FT today about a Taliban suicide attack against the Indian embassy in Kabul surprised me because liberal news sources favorably represent terrorists as merely fighting the oil thirst and westernizing influence of the US. Nothing like this is brought up (is anyone even aware?).

Unfortunately the reasoning behind the attack was not given, the closest thing to an explanation was implied in the statement by the Indian Foreign Ministry, "Such acts of terror will not deter us from fulfilling our commitments to the government and people of Afghanistan". Apparently the Taliban just resents any outside influence in Islamic regions.
