I smell trolling in the OP.. but I'll bite 
I don't think it's good, even small series of attacks. Because, that's exactly what we need to avoid, getting the group feeling that we must kick their ass. Because their ass means arab ass. And that ass is different from terrorist ass.
It doesn't make it a good situation where we all become nazis and the persecuted ones are arabs and muslims. Because it'll be the common feeling, some are all for it, some are OK with it, some hate it but know 'it has to be done', and only few will be actually thinking what the hell are people thinking, if we get like say 9/11 ten times in ten countries. Or 50 times. The worst we can ever do is set up them camps again. Why? Because.. then we ain't what we are now. Then we do what we are supposed to avoid doing. Then we aren't democracy anymore, then we are nothing but criminals ourselves. SO no. It's not good. And we don't 'need to wake up'. Professionals go do their job. THat's it. Soldiers, cops, special forces, investigators, courts, they do the job. That's it. Or we become just like them. And then I have to ask, what was the point to begin with? I don't feel like disrespecting all the veterans of several wars whose life were stolen, the millions of them all together, just so that us westerners could have the freedoms we now have, and then just **** it all up and make their deaths meaningless. No way if you ask me.

Usually when people say "I hate to say this" or "I hate to do this" then I just tell them, "then don't."
Why do something you hate to do? It just doesn't make sense.

I like your tools to hijack a thread - very nice.
Though Lady Di (his shortening of his name makes me ) has a point.
What about the blame of all these congreesmens and senators, not to talk about all the other governments and common people that supported the liberation of Iraq ?
The bloddy trail is scrutinized by http://www.iraqbodycount.net/ and it does not look good.
According to their summings, the liberation forces are to blame for approx 10,000 civilian losses out of 25,000 the last two years. Most of these though was pre invasion, so civilian killings by military post invasion is very low.
One thing puzzles me though - it seems that 18 % of the killings of civilians are done by unknown forces.
This do sound bad - 25,000 deaths in two years, but strangely the page doesn't mention that Saddam on average killed 37,000 civilians a year.
How come that I don't think it's that bad that instead of 74,000 deads, there has only been 25,000 ?
Sorry if I destroy what could be a great thread LC
