To what ends?

Was it to invade Iraq and be mired in the shit we're in right now? Or was it to let Israel take it on the chin and say, "enough! We're Israel and we're allowed to exist and we're going to go and kick some ass now."

Or, is it to let Israel set the stage for a larger war with Iran? You can draw all sorts of grand conclusions about 9/11 and they all can fit nicely with sinister intentions...

So, here's my question: If I'm a terrorist and I really want to fuck up the psyche and emotions of the west, what do I do?

I walk into a MacDonalds in Akron, Ohio and I blow myself up. But I do this in coordinated fashion with my Jihad folk that walked into a movie theatre in Fargo, North Dakota along with the people that hit a strip mall in Greenville, South Carolina, and the Friday night football game in Bute, Montana... and on and on until you have simultaneous, low level attacks in every one of the United States.

If you want to paralyze the United States with fear and panic, do it on a smaller scale but more widespread. To me this is the only valid point of the conspiracists. Why the fuck would Al-Quada wait for "high profile" targets when they could cripple us with multiple, low level targets... over and over.
For one thing, their communities in the U.S. would be burned down, and the Muslim residents persecuted. They would be running to the FBI and CIA with information just to get the vigilantes off their backs. If there are any attacks such as the ones you descibe, or worse, in New York City, I guarantee that the streets will run red with blood - mostly theirs.

I don't think that they could pull it off. Whoever it is in the Middle East that hides Bin Laden and people of his ilk would be exposed. Plus, not all of these guerrilla jihad attacks would be successful, and those that were caught would be compelled to talk.

It may happen in the future, though, if we don't nip it in the bud and stop them from coming here.
