Okay, so I know that the most widely accepted definition of "terrorist" is someone who blows stuff up in order to forward some agenda. However, if the ultimate goal of a terrorist is to get us to change our behavior, then it would seem that blowing stuff up is no longer a requirement. All that's really required now is a good scary report on the news, or a politician reminding us that we could be blown to smithereens at any moment. No actual explosions, dismembered bodies, or actual deaths are really required any more. All you need to qualify as a terrorist now is to constantly remind people of what could happen if we're not vigilant.
Good job, Osama. You can relax now. Our politicians and news media have taken over the job, so you don't really have to do anything anymore.
WTC as metaphor: hit us hard, stand back, and eventually we fall.
