Did the Terrorists Win?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Judging by the sorry state of their places of origin.....I'd have to say no.  They fucked themselves and everyone they'd ever known, hard.  It was already bad, they made it worse.

Good job, terrorists, really giving it to the Great Satan!

The ME was never a haven of tranquility I agree. People were murdering other tribes long before the west was even a thing. There was that hole gas Thing with Saddam a few years back, and the Kurds have never had it particularly easy what with the Turkish oppression and attempted genocide and all.

As to whether they have 'won'? There are now body scanners which effectively make me naked to strangers behind a screen. I'd say that in some respects they have yes.
