The crazy thing about this is that this type of terrorism is completely pointless. There are no demands, no hostages, no agenda, it's just let's blow something up in America. At best someone is just trying to score some points back home by having managed to kill some Americans, but are they really terrifying anyone? Is there anything we could do to in terms of policy to end this "threat"? If there was would we ever? The answers are no.
The only way to end terrorism is to bring education and prosperity to the middle east, to all of them, not just the few already rich from oil money. To give them something to do other than blow themselves up.
