They will try again to attack the economy of the West.

So far, their great war on the economy of the West has been pretty pathetic...The economy dipped into a short recession after 9/11. But it was probably headed for that even before 9/11. Growth was slowing well before Bush even took office, in an odd coincidence, the events of 9/11 might have shortened the enevitable recession by forcing the Federal Reserve to loosen the purse strings. The economy has grown out of the recession and is still growing at 2-3% per year...The terrorists have failed miserably...

I'm really surprised the Islamic terrorists haven't mounted more small scale attacks: Did they put all their eggs in a one-attack basket? Or maybe John Ashcroft and the rest the law enforcement community are catching the terrorists before they have a chance to launch any follow-ups to 9/11.
