If there really is a war on the west, where's the war? Sure, we've had a handful of isolated attacks around the world, but surely you could make stuff blow up every day. If I was a terrorist, I would, and I could do it better. Hell I could build a bomb and blow up a major building in the city tomorrow. Good thing I'm not a fundamentalist Muslim terrorist. Even 911 could have been bigger. He's hardly even trying, he's probably retired or dead now. I voted bad job
As for making people afraid, that wasn't his doing, that was done by the western governments and the media.
