Terrorism has brought down governments, or nearly so. Shining Path in Peru is a great example. It doesn't take many bombings (that don't even kill people) to bring a system nearly to a halt. It's one reason why Singapore has very strict security rules targeting terrorism. Not because of mass casualties, but because of the instability it would bring, dragging down the economy, creating social unrest. Terrorists aren't stupid. They know terror works.
