re: terrorism and war

but what has occurred is that terrorism has changed- it's sort of grown up. Now, terrorism focus is not on delivering a message. It's purpose is war. It's still about symbolism, but it's more concerned increasing the body count and generally destroying a society- the talking isn't going anywhere, so let just murder and distroy as much as possible.
If what you say is true, then shouldn't the question arise why those 9-11 suicide planes bypassed potential targets which might have caused much more death and destruction?
