I always wonder how "Terrorists" can be so incompetent to actually get caught before they perform their attack ...

If you choose your targets wisely, you can choose pieces of critical infastructure that is poorly defended against attack and can have serious consequences if damaged. As an example, in many cities in North America have electrical infastructure which can be damaged to the level of being difficult to repair in a timely fashion with a stick of dynamite or a pipe-bomb; if the attack was well timed (say the day before a blizzard, cold spell, or heat wave) you can knock out electricity for an entire city for a week or longer, kill hundreds (or thousands) of people indirectly, and cause massive terror.

How could you possibly catch someone who can attack you with small quantities of explosives which can be produced using readily available chemicals?


Yeah, i guess because people talk.  I mean it's like it's always been said... if you want to kill someone bad enough and don't care about dieing your going to do it.

I'm also shocked this thread hasn't devolved into "blame America".

I think the reason people havent said that is because in all honesty, Terrorism has been around for a long time, before the so called "War on Terror" Just now everyone views it as Muslims bombing everyone.

Remember, before 9/11, we thought terrorists were white. Who remembers Timothy McVeigh or the Unibomber?
