You do not understand.
With every new “imagined” success that the terrorist have in so many different countries, they actually are creating enemies where before there were bystanders. Al-Qaeda and related terrorist groups separated because they were viewed in the Muslim world as standing up to the West successfully and handing the Great Satan America embarrassing defeats with impunity. Some fanatics will flock to the standard of terror, no matter what we do. But it’s far easier for Islamic societies to purge themselves of terrorists if the terrorists are on the losing end of the global struggle than if they’re allowed to become triumphant heroes to every jobless, unstable teenager in the Middle East and beyond. The "Apocalyptic" terrorist always over reaches and destroys himself in the process of his mission.
9/11 placed Al-Queda in our sights. The London bombings further angered the West. The bombings in Madrid slapped the appeasing Spanish in the face. The Bali bombings made the Indonesian Government face their home grown and imported terrorists. The bombing in Jordan woke m any Muslims up that used to support Al-Queda. Their senseless slaughterings of fellow Muslims in Iraq proved to Iraqis (Sunni and Shi'ites alike) that they are truly just thugs hiding behind a religion.
Al-Queda is wrecked. Their network is destroyed and fractured. They no longer are an influence in Chad. They no longer hold any secrecy in Bosnia. Those that choose to obey their terror masters and travel to Iraq do so knowing that they march to their deaths. They no longer have any weight in Indonesia, thanks to the Bali bombings. In India, they are running for cover. In the Phillipines, they are little more than an annoyance.
For the human devils who planned the slaughters and carry out the attacks, these truly are suicide missions.
