So much for these guys being considered evil "geniuses"..LOL

They decide to attack a Mosque in an area where the people had actually supported them.

If they had just laid low when they got to run Swat they could have made inroads. A lot of Pakistanis empathized with them. Now, even the uneducated Pakistanis are terrified by them and the military there has a free hand.

It wasn't like 9/11 was a James Bond plot either. 19 guys with box cutters that hadn't even tried to hide their identities when they took their flight (without landing) training, or when they boarded the planes.
