$hit for brains terrorists!
The thing that bothers me... is that it appears that these "terrorists" (see london bombings) seem to have no real idea about how to really terrorise people!!!
Take the IRA for example. They would blow up a restaurant, then when crowds of people come... ie police and ems, they blow up another bomb positioned to take out all the newcomers.
Now that sort of tactic demoralises people, makes them shit scared and generally fucks up the soul of a country.
Who cares if some tosser knows how to get 7 bombs to go off all at the same time!! Once you let the first 2 or 3 off, the scale really doesnt matter, and it doesn't really increase the "terror" component. People just lose perspective of the horror of what has actually happened, and just say oh yeah... 7 bombs went off.
This whole thing has been bothering me since 911, why (from the terrorists perspective) would you put in such a big effort to hijack all those airliners, and not follow it up??? How long was it before people didn't give a crap and flew on planes as per normal.
I don't want to be giving anyone any ideas, although this aint nothing new... but if a group was REALLY motivated to disrupt western way of life... and given the recent example... target the public transport system, then they would be employing very different techniques.
If you look at special forces techniques when engaging an enemy, they employ something called shoot and scoot (I'm sure there are other names for it as well), but basically it means that once you have shot at the enemy from a particular location... MOVE!!! cause now the enemy knows where you are (muzzle flash and other crap like that), so then you shoot at them from somewhere else. The ones that do this technique really well can make the enemy think that they are up against a far larger force than what is really there.
Now if the tossers that let off these bombs in london had done maybe 2 or 3 on that day, then once a fortnight they let another one off... how long do you think it would be before the public transport system ceased to exist. If the public transport system is now longer around... then bend over london cause your about to feel the pineapple.
Ahhh... but you might say that the police will catch them before they get to far!!! Well thats probably right, which is why the extremist groups that like killing us nice western folk tend to use self contained cells. You send one cell off and say... Do your worst in July... At the same time, you send off another group that has no idea about the first one and say... Do your worst in August!!! Even if the cops catch the first group... suddenly next month trains start going poof!!! Public sentiment would be so crap you couldn't pay people to be politicians.
Now all this is really basic stuff that most terrorist groups that have been around for a while already employ.
So the question is... Why are these terrorists not really acting like terrorists?

Well, Poke, fairly simply, people who would blow shit up to win friends and influence people can't be terribly smart, can they?
Remember Richard Reid? There's a Rhodes Scholar... no? :D

HA!!! If they are sooo stupid, how come the United States of America can't catch Bin Laden?
