Terrorists are making a big mistake- they may want to "get" the US but are attacking Saudi Arabia, Mosques, the UN the Red Cross, the Italians, and now Turkey. Possibly.. But people are "funny" when it comes to their reactions to such disorder.. People just want to live their lives. When terrorists attack certain groups, and innocents get caught in the middle, they tend to blame both sides, attackers and victims. And since the attackers are more violent, and rationally threaten their own safety, people are often willing to conform to whatever demand being placed upon them in order to return to their previous peaceful lives.. Happens all the time when mobsters and gangs charge "protection" money from local business owners.. Hawk
