Causing Terror On the Cheap
jhigh writes "Bruce Schneier posts on his blog today about the value of terror with respect to cost-benefit for the terrorists. If you look at terror attacks in terms of what they cost the terrorists to implement, compared with what they cost the economy of the nation that was hit, the reward for terrorists is astronomical. Add in the insane costs of the security measures implemented afterward, particularly in America, and it's easy to see why the terrorists do what they do. Even when they're unsuccessful, they cost us billions in security countermeasures."
Clearly, it's George Soros! My bedroom is full of puppets and chalk boards that show evidence of this. Unfortunately, the world is full of idiots who can't see the logic behind it all.
I see you got a funny mod, but you instead you should have gotten an insightful, since George Soros makes his money speculating on currency, and nothing makes currencies move like some good ol' terror.
I laughed at the weak who considered themselves good because they lacked claws.
I personally think that Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with either Islam or with any legitimate grievances Middle Eastern governments may have with the US government. I think that the US government is paying scumbags like Bin Laden to mount the occcasional terror attack against the US in order to supply the US government with boogeymen it can use to justify its continued efforts to dismantle the Constitution and reduce the American people to serfdom, since the US government can no longer use Commies as an excuse. Islamic terrorism is the ultimate false-flag operation.
