I don't know if you've heard, but Osama's brother is in the textile business and he now sells "BinLadin" shirts with the BinLadin name on the breastpocket. I'm going to order one TODAY!!!

Can't get the quote function working, so I'll respond this way.

I hate to quote a Star Trek show, but

"Causalities are but a bonus, what matters is that we've struck fear into the hearts of our enemies."

-that Vorta guy (WAY-oon) after the Breen attack San Francisco.

The point of terrorism is terror. Causalties are good, but causes fear and chaos in the general population of your enemy is the major point. You attack major symbols of your enemy like the Twin Towers, Pentagon, and the White House.

If you simply want to max your causalities, you fly the planes into a football game.

Hey, we're spreading freedom, buddy! And if you don' t like it, we'll spread freedom at your house!
In fact, I have it on good authority that you might be planning on attacking me someday, so I'm striking first!

Besides, death can be very liberating, and we're liberating those poor people!
