Ugh
Sorry for the length of that article, but the NYT requires registration, and has the damnable practice of archiving old articles and then requiring purchase to read them.
I think that this long article presents a great deal of decent analysis. I do not agree with every point, but I fundamentally agree with the heart of the article: As was long ago identified as a truism of the discipline, terrorism is theater.
Without global media coverage, most incidents diminish to the level of the tactical.
