Random Observations pertaining to 9/11 by Malcolm Gladwell

I think...I think its pretty important to look at the types of groups that where committing acts of terror in the 60s-70s. They seem to be groups with an intellectual doctrine, or anti-doctrine. And that kind of terrorist has well and truely faded away. I know I was surprised to hear about all the domestic American terrorists (there was that famous dozen or so who kidnapped some pretty famous girl and brainwashed her using psychological/physical abuse to the point she killed - or at least fired upon cops or something to protect them). Point being, these groups where part of a global, intellectually motivated, violent backlash . A sort of a grass roots, "fuck the man" type deal. And they ran out of steam, especially in capitalist where the Yuppie well and truely killed them, for a few decades at least.

However not all of the terrorists movements died in the 80s. I dont think it would not be controversial to say Spain's terrorists share some of the "dna" of todays most prominent groups: religious zealotry, history of war, etc. And its worth noting that Spain's terrorists are still active and a problem to this day.

What we have left, is the hard core - faith-based terrorists. And to many in the Muslim section of the global village - the USA has been a visible and compelling antagonist.

I dont think the effect of the "terrorist incidents" increases BECAUSE we crack down on it. Infact I would not even call them "terrorists" - they are "religious warriors" whose sights have been set more and more on the USA (and co.). I think the increased severity due to increasing commonality of hatred directed at the USA, and the fact that the people who are planning and carrying out the attacks are hardened warriors with dehumanising religious motivations.
