the threat from islamic terrorism is a paradox. do nothing? they attack. go after them? they attack.
the "war on terror" has done significant damage to the abilities of al qaeda and other large groups of islamic terrorists to cause massive, spectacular attacks abroad.
the problem is that the anger and resentment over the "war on terror," while damaging the huge core groups, has created many more smaller groups who are content with small, soft target attacks as opposed to the large scale, 9/11 style.
do nothing, the big attacks will continue. attack them, the small attacks will grow in numbers. the answer? who the fuck knows.
