I maintain the same standpoint I held when the Bush idiocy ran rampant back in 2003. Know thy enemy is always better than any Gung Ho approach. So it's better to look at what they're doing and not taking them for fools. They're fanatics, but they aren't idiots. They have a strategy and todays targets give a very good impression of what this strategy involves. Destabilization of functioning muslim countries and an attack on a US facility, which is - seen from their point of view - an obvious target.
It also points to the fact that their support within the muslim world is rather limited. Otherwise there would be no need for attacks there. So it's better to use brains instead of brawns when it comes to these attacks.
