The Berlin bombing wasn't in the US (last I checked) and the WTC bombing - one incident is not enough to remove something from being negligible.
People die in shark attacks but the risk of dying in a shark attack is negligible.
What are the chances you will be attacked by sharks va being in a terrorist attack?

Originally posted by KazetNagorraSeeing as Bin Laden said the goal would be to get us to spend ourselves into bankruptcy:
Yes, but since we don't have an alternative universe where the "war on terror" didn't happen, it'll be hard to judge whether or not it worked.
"We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah," bin Laden said "
I'd argue that the "war on terror" has been pretty successful from his (bin laden's) point of view.

Absolutely. The terrorists (and god damn... there's a lot of them around...) only have to realise that they should attack the financial markets via the internet and all hell will break loose.
