This supposition, that terrorists only 'win' if they make us afraid and change our lifestyles, seems to have gathered a tremendous following.
But is it actually remotely accurate?
What is the typical Al-Qaeda / Islamic fundamentalist terrorists' agenda?
Simply to cause fear? Is that supposed to be it?
Or are they trying to show citizens of western states what our governments have done to people in the middle east?
Bin Laden's inspiration for the Sept 11 attacks was supposedly seeing 'his' towerblocks toppled by American strikes.
The bombs on London, while of course completely unjustified murders, have given the people of the UK a new level of insight into the daily bombings and attacks taking place in Iraq.
For a more generic kind of warfare surely the motivation is more for killing the enemy than it is scarring some of them a bit.
A lot of people seem to argue that since they're terrorists, their agenda is to incite terror.
A bit shortsighted, the label terrorist is now simply used to describe a non-state-forces fighter. It no longer refers to agenda at all.
It's understandable - people want to understand why, people want to be able to do something to overcome the perpetrators, to claim some form of victory.
But if we can't even grasp the reality of the situation, if we can't understand why these things happen, how can we hope to change things?

The site is run by Americans, couldn't they be more pro-active than getting 'arty' wanabies sending in 'meaningful' pictures.
The're selling merchandise too, someone somewhere is making money from this, we never cashed in on 9/11.
Should stick to what their good at, eating mcdonalds and dying of Coronary heart disease

I still think that the way everyone is really trying to stand against it, is a bit OTT, considering it really was such a small strike.
I'm very muchly expecting a larger strike soon-ish, which will give us reason to be scared.
