> As for potential terrorists, I guess I still struggle with what their goals are. I think a lot of people are way off the mark. Hmm. You're right The grievances that drive terrorism are well understood. But beyond that I'm making confident assumptions that, on examination, I can't back up with any solid evidence or experience. I guess this is a case of "more research is needed". > As for simply giving the event attention, I don't think there's any way around that. You're right, of course, but I'll continue to rant about it. If traffic accidents received anything like the attention that terrorism did -- if videos of fatal car crashes were replayed ad nauseum on the nightly news -- maybe some of those 4 people I mentioned above might still be alive today.
