Weapons of Mass Hysteria
IMHO we need to realize that terrorism is based on WMHs and not WMDs. It is a primary goal to be able to create situations that have propaganda value.

Re: Weapons of Mass Hysteria
Sure, 911 is a great example of WMHs. It was a seriously flawed attempt that pretty much failed in all of its efforts and while a great tragedy, certainly not a threat to the US.
​
It's biggest success was that it provoked a response totally out of proportion to the threat. As such, it was a propaganda success beyond even their wildest hopes.
