But if attacks can "inspire" people, the very first attack that ever happened can inspire them in perpetuity, unless we can make the world forget the concept of violence. I do sort of see the point that successful attacks inspire copycats soon after, I guess it seems silly to name threats and then just throw in something that boils down to "or anybody else." Also, that it implies the threat is uniform across the entire globe (except maybe lesser in Syria and Iraq? Since those are the only two locations that are named but not in connection with a previous attack. And, it says the bad guys are leaving those places, so they're becoming safer, right? /sarcasm) I had the notion that "there are bad things happening out there" from skimming the news, but thanks State Department for letting me know they might happen in "multiple regions"! Meh, I guess maybe this is bureaucratically significant to someone (if some company has a policy to not travel when there's a State Department alert?) even if it contains virtually no information.
