They thought...

They thought that attacking the United States on 9/11 would plunge the country into despair and fear, would keep us out of the middle east and out of their jihad against the Western world.

They were wrong.

They thought that attacking Spain on 3/11 would change that country's policy and, ultimately, their presence in Iraq.

They were right.

They thought that attacking England on 7/7 would cow the Brits into pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan. They thought it would serve as a warning to Italy and Denmark to do the same.

Time will tell.

I'll give you your two cents, but do you believe the terrorists don't think that they had something to do with it? Hardly. They figure they're 1 and 1, so might as well give it another shot.

Well it does depends on how they view the world, in black&white or with shades of gray (or is it grey in US English). I just say that the truth is there very plain now it depends on your own perspective of reality.

who's the one in your icon?

Perspectives of reality... oy ;)

My icon is of Phedre, the main character in the Kushiel Trilogy, which was also the inspiration for my banner :D It's a great threesome of fantasy/alt history books by Jacqueline Carey.
