About Terrorism: Since, based on the number of hits this site is getting, nobody believes I'm really Osama, I guess it's okay to let you in on a little secret of terrorism.

Are you ready?

The whole purpose of terrorism is to keep people afraid.

Sounds obvious, right?

What may not be so obvious is that as long as people are afraid, we don't have to/need to do any attacks. We can save our resources for when people start forgetting to be afraid.

Now, on the flip side, if you can't do something as scary as what you want to do, do something as scary as you can, and then tell everybody you're on the brink of doing what you want to do.

In other words, you can rest pretty assured that there is no "even worse" attack on the US that's 90% ready to go.

If there were, we'd have just done it. No need to fiddle around with "warnings" and "leaving riddles around" or other comic-book villain tactics.
