Why don't Terrorists Attack Soft Targets in the U.S.A.?

Question

I mean, it would certainly mess with our psyche, and yes, our economy if they sent suicide bombers into malls and stuff...

Answer 1

They have enough ideas of their own without your help!!!

Answer 2

Terrorists do attack soft targets, do you consider the WTC and Pentagon "hard" targets? also attacks on malls woulden't affect our economy, unless people stoped going to malls(which hasn't happened to flying) have been some interesting books about terrorists taking the battle to common America in malls and churches and that kind of thing. i think it may be because training, arming, and infiltration is enourmously expensive for terrorists, and if they can't kill more than a thousand people then why bother spending over a million dollars to get a team of terrorists into the US.

Answer 3

It's pretty simple. I think the islamo fascist terrorists realize that such an attack will cause us to put ALL MUSLIMS into camps ringed with razor wire and machine gun nests, whether they were party to the act or not.

There was some violence aginst muslims after 9/11, would be multiplied ten fold if another attack like what you're suggesting were to take place.

Answer 4

hmm... not sure... I often wonder if they are a little afraid that if they attack us too much that we won't just go off the "deep end" and start a huge crusade... some already want to do it and with an increased level of paranoia that attacking soft targets would bring, who knows what would happen... but odds are it wouldn't be good for Muslims in the U.S. or middle east...

Answer 5

Soft targets provide a great opportunity for them but they are really looking for global recognition. I wonder how many Europeans knew of the DC sniper?

Answer 6

It is easier to get to targets in Iraq and Afghanistan (their own back yard) then to come to the US assemble resources needed for a strike team and execute the strike. In that regard one can give Bush some credit.

Answer 7

Because it was manipulated by congress regulated any political affairs that the government causes.Disagreements of leaders of socialism ethics, to uphold or try to anyway; to stop communist progressing.secretly our constitution allows any one here without awareness of whomever for them to attack small targets which can be painful.they enjoy it and willing to sacrifice their lives to achive their destiny.

Answer 10

why do you think of things like this? you think that that would be worse than bombing a world trade center using airplanes, with American citizens on board?
