Just this morning, I read of some "funny business" type terrorist threats and/or attacks in Germany and France. Today also in the news? Suspicious powder "quarantined" in two locations in the US. Planes with funny fumes. ah. There's more. It doesn't mean that these things happening coincident to the events in Europe this morning are SPECIFICALLY terrorist-related. It could just be gamsters playing the system; faulty air fusalage. Who knows. Nonetheless, there is a "jointly timed" release to these events worthy of paying attention to. They could most certainly be "connected".

Alia,I agree and thank you for your thoughts.
This is one of those fundamental truths that so many people forget. Anybody who has been bullied in school can tell you that handing over your lunch money today will result in your handing it over tomorrow, too.
And what do we have? A world where in places like Israel, it's a good week if a murder-bomer doesn't strike again. And where the world watches and accuses Israel of being the bully!
That's where I feel our nation's rules of engagement have held back the hand of the warfighter. We collectively have been duped into buying the "Nyah nyah, you can't come here, this is the holy city of..."
You ask me, here are the new rules: We'll try to avoid blowing your mosques off the map, but if some dude therein so much as flips us the bird, let alone raises a fist or shows anything remotely resembling a gun, we'll MOAB that thing right off the map. You want to treat your mosque like a war zone? We'll help you!
Now, this may actually be the way it works, but in order to make this work, we need a missing element, the media. If Donald Rumsfeld were to give a press conference, and announced this new doctrine, and say that CNN and Al Jazeera covered it, which news organizaiton would be more anti-American? It might be a dead heat. I've postulated that the major networks pinch their text straight from Al Jazeera.
Summary? Indeed, giving into terrorism assures future terrorism.
