The trouble with this "terrorism" nonsense is that there are an infinite number of horrors that one can conjure up, limited only by the imagination. And each and every horror, no matter how ghastly, is in fact within the realm of possibility. What if the terrorists attacked hospitals, took all the babies and mothers out of the maternity wards, hacked the babies into pieces while the mothers are forced to watch, fed the pieces of baby to swine, and then sold the mothers to Arab white slavers? See, there's no limited to the horrifying things you can come up with. This makes "terrorism" a perfect tool to keep the population frightened and docile. If anyone questions the regime's motivation or purpose, they simply ask "Do you want our nation's children to be chopped up and fed to swine?" Therefore, I think you need to view anyone who conjures up such scenarios with extreme suspicion, and, until proven otherwise, assume that they are lying about their ultimate motives.
