You think so? New York, Washington, Baghdad, Jakarta, Bali, Istanbul, Afghanistan, Morocco, and Riyadh have all had major Alquaeda attacks in the last two years. They do make a lot a threats, but they act on them, too.

Yeah, they murder people here and there but as far as bringing a country to it's knees that's another story. They murdered 3000 in New York. But we lost 200,000 in WW2 and were still very strong at the end. Britain lost 4.5 million in WW1 and still were strong at the end. I think we've lost perspective of what a devastating blow is.
