But asymm warfare has to accomplish its goal. It's not being very successful. The only people who are siding with al-qaeda are those whose brains are already mush -statist socialists, to be precise. If al qaeda bombed government buildings or targetted the private residences or offices of government officials, they might get more sympathy, from me at least. Destroying an pair of buildings and killing thousands of citizens -most of whom couldn't give an accurate account of U.S. forces distribution in the MidEast- is not a step forward.
Right, WTC as a target doesn't make any strategic sense. Either they were very stupid at picking their targets, or their goals are not quite so obvious - Unless the strategy was to short-sell the stock market the day before. Did the FTC/FBI/NSA/CIA/etc find anything along these lines (yet)? I've not been paying much attention to the news as of late.
