- Qwertious 11y agoSounds like you need to read up on the actual intent of terrorists: http://www.gwern.net/Terrorism%20is%20not%20about%20Terror http://www.gwern.net/Terrorism%20is%20not%20about%20Terror
- bcook 11y agoThanks for the link (I love gwern). Terrorist organizations are always evolving though. For example, the ongoing PR campaign by ISIS. The PR is creating terrorists but there is never a singular attack. I would say the PR campaign is successful, but many people are unaware of it, compared to 9/11. My point is, terrorism is not exclusively a single, concentrated moment of terror. Some terrorist plots are more subtle and long-term.
