The first social invention of XXI century.

The so-called Al-Qaeda terrorist tactics consists of hitting multiple civilian targets at same time without taking responsibility for the act.

The action can be timed a few days before election or other important political occurance in the targeted region.

The method can work only on ethnic or religious rift. The desired effect is win-win situation. If enemy scared and retreats - all is good. If enemy angered and attacks - it is good too, because as a result the rift deepens.

The inventors don't really understand that on the bottom of Western culture lays a sleeping beast. Random attack without backtrace risk to awoke it, because this type of attack hits the main pillar of Western society - idea of personal responsibility.

Hope the awakening won't happen.

A joke of this new century: in response to the actions of unknown terrorists, US bombed several randomly chosen targets.

The obvious intent is to denigrate the current US actions. In fact, it hints to a strategy which eventually may be the most reasonable one.

Hope *what* won't happen? "awoke it" or "hits the main pillar"?
