Sure it does. People never thought that Madrid or London could happen, but it did. The Moscow Theatre Siege, Beslan, Bali. Each successful terror attempt is preceeded and followed by many failed terror attempts. The scale and gravitas that terrorism and its tactics encompass is going to gradually morph and change and grow.
I remember reading a group of articles from Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, and a few other related publishments early in this year with academics stating that attacks on the US mainland are likely to shrink in scope and be carried out by smaller cells. Additionally, a few of the articles made mention of probable attacks on European cities and targets. Cities like Paris, Rome, Frankfurt, Berlin, Athens, various Balkan cities, and countless others are all breeding grounds for terrorist groups and your usual feed of 'disenfranchised, educated, unemployed young men.' It may not be Islamist, it may not even necessarily be overtly anti-American (the growth of the extreme right may eventually cause as large a domestic issue in European states as homegrown Islamist extremists). Of course, that does not change the fact that successful terror attacks are going to continue to be a rarity in the western world for at least the short-term of the foreseeable future. |

All I know is that it will never cease until someone succeeds at least one time...
...and then. Well...'light em up cuz we're going down' sounds eeriely appropriate. Curiosity wonders just how badly this would've actually impacted the US if it would have happened... ...and how many people would've been out of this country the day after. |

Dirka Dirka Muhammad Jihad!
Ok, all kidding aside, I'm glad the plan was foiled. Fuck the terrorists! ____________________ |
