I think terrorists would kill alot more chidren than just one. (I shudder to think of that though). This is too trivial for terrorists. They always like to make some kind of statement and usually a big one. And they always claim responsiblity to prove that they are more powerful and distructive than they are. They are a bunch of egomaniacs as we saw by the Taliban's bragging just before they were distroyed and also Bin Laden's tapes bragging about their 9/11 deed. Believe me if the media didn't pick up on the terror aspect all the time we normally wouldn't even think about terrorism we would be calling this exactly what the police are calling it a serial sniper and not terrorists. We have become obsessed with terrorism to the point that everytime something happens we think it has to do with Middle Eastern terrorism. We have to stop and think back to our own violent past and see the similarities. But this is AGAIN just my opinion.

You need to read post #115 and while you do, remember it was printed in World Net Daily on 9/04/2002.

If Al Qaeda has been affected by this campaign and if their communication links have been disrupted, this is exactly the kind of attacks that they would be able to undertake. Why not start around DC?? Frankly, I would find these types of tactics, if they continue and begin popping up around the country in one form or another, more "terror"fying than the WTC.

Those of us in the heartland, though deeply saddened and horrified by 9-11, feel rather insulated. Should random acts of terror, such as in DC and listed in post #115, begin popping up in ST. Louis, Chicago, Lincoln, Topeka...the country will know what true terror is...(excuse the poor grammar).

And they always claim responsiblity

You're wrong. Al-queda NEVER claims responsibility for any of their attacks. Bin Laden made tapes bragging about this and that but he never claimed responsibility for 911. The tape where he DID brag about it was not released, it was captured during the invasion of Afghanistan.
