# not really
its a high-profile target and undermines the Pakistan cricket team, a source for much national unity and pride.

It'd be like an Islamic terrorist cell attacking the opponents of the England football team - resulting in no other country wanting to play us in international football. Not to mention the publicity.

# Here's an idea for Al Qaeda:
Sponsor Man Utd. Now that's what I call publicity

# anyone
who's ever read one of my posts knows I'm not worth listening to, I imagine if there are terrorists reading b3ta they aren't using my ramblings as a blueprint for global anarchy.

# good point.
It's possible the b3ta embassy would've had a bombing or two by now.

# I am aware of all this.
but ther's just been a terrorist attack on a cricket team. No matter how you rationalise it, it's weird!

# no less weird

# terror and drugs are concepts?

# well they're not countries
or regimes or military juntas or alien invasion parties

they are 'things' that have neither the power to defend themselves nor are capable of independent thought. Declaring war on specific terrorists makes sense, but to declare war on an emotion doesn't.
