Bombs in Europe

Submitted by Stas (Ukraine), Aug 28, 2012 at 00:47

It is a puzzling thing that with all of the plots and activities, these jihadis have not attempted to blow up Europe's great landmarks. Perhaps they fear that if they cross the line and blow up the Eiffel tower or the tower of Piza, people would finally respond in kind. Like Bush did after the 9-11 attacks. But it still does not make sense. Is the terror that they create in people's hearts sufficient, or maybe its the economic toll taken on the countries for security and limiting freedoms in democracy.
