I always thought maximum terror could be achieved by targeting smaller towns. Most people in rural areas figure they’re safe since big cities are usually the targets, once small towns are targeted, nobody will feel safe.
Remember the surburban DC sniper who killed several and tied law enforcement in knots for weeks?
A lot of people (liberals?) wouldn’t care if it happened to a small town, they feel like small towns are a different planet. lol. flyover country.
I get your point though. Maybe hitting the suburbs would do it.
I’ve felt the same way. I’ve actually had someone tell me that we should stop acknowledging 9/11 because it didn’t affect them since they lived in Wisconsin.
I have very little doubt that AQ knows that a lot of middle America feels perfectly safe.
