I don't know. I mean, I'm sure there would be more world indignation, but the terrorism model changes things. I'm already uncomfortable with the steps we are allegedly taking to prevent terrorist attacks here. If we became the focus, I'm not sure "here" would be some place I'd want to stay. Islamic states will fund the terrorists, the west will retaliate by attacking the Islamic states, which will retaliate with direct attacks on the west.

Yes, it's total speculation. No this isn't an area I know much about. Yes, I'm sure my "re-education" will begin shortly. Doesn't change that I personally believe that much as Isreal is a thorn in the paw of Islam, the radicals draw strength from the have-nots, and removing the thorn won't remove the underlying problem.
