If the perpetrators, carried out the attack, they did with a purpose. Nefarious as it was. But you have to put yourself in his boots to gauge the situation. The purposes were:

1) Cause terror.

2) Test US resolve

3) Humiliate the Bush administration.

4) Disrupt the markets.

5) Cause the US to make a move.

2) and 5) we have to concentrate. What next?

a) If the US make a move, would the perpetrators be prepared to act next?

b) Have they only that actions to attack or they hold another plan?

c) Could a similar attack be feasible on the oil terminals in the Gulf, plus oil rigs in the North Sea plus a supertank sunk in Hormuz Straight, plus gas pipeline from Urengoy, damage oil supplies now that winter approaches?
