Certain groups perform attacks of this kind.

It's not necessarily because they are backwards or evil or something. They just can't resist militarily, so they go for soft targets.

If the situation was reversed, and there was some kind of hegemonic global Islamic caliphate with an ostensibly unbeatable military, perhaps you would get some random Poles or Spaniards blowing up planes.

People who aren't in groups in those kinds of situations, don't do things like that. Why would they? Why do we pretend that they would?
