Sig, terrorism on a multi-national level hasn't really been a forethought since the 16th-century pirates. The world, essentially…forgot. Baader-Meinhof: who outside of Germany cared? IRA: who outside of the UK cared? Brigate Rossa (Red Brigade): who outside of Italy cared? Basque Separatists: who outside of Spain cared? PLA in '72 Munich: well, after the shot-put and decathalon, nobody really cared...much. Lebanon, '83: hey, that was Lebanon. The world was much more comparmentalized back then. Now, everybody gets hit everywhere (except in Finland). The "failure to recognize" is somewhat natural, considering the circumstances, but also you'll soon see that corrected. * The end of global terrorism is just one Eiffel Tower away (so to speak, that is). * "I'm rather irked that some nations fail to recognize terrorism as a world-wide phenomenon and do not give full and active support to its suppression."
