Terrorism school

June 2nd, 2004 · No Comments

Is it just me, or does it look like Iraq is becoming the academy of terrorism for the rest of the world? The recent attacks on foreigners and economic targets in Saudi Arabia sure look like they’re taken directly from the insurgency in Iraq. The insurgents in Iraq have figured out that fighting heavily armed and well trained soldiers is a losing game. Going after soft targets is a higher percentage play, and apparently terrorists in Saudi Arabia are watching enough television to have gotten the message. In this way terrorists are like script kiddies. There’s no need to come up with something new if you can just take an existing script and unleash it with a few minor changes.
