This Newsweek article says quite a bit that the terrorists want Newsweek to say.
At least 88 people died in that and two other coordinated blasts that night. Patel, who was back at the Movenpick pool sunning himself the next day, seems resigned to the new facts of global terror in the 21st century: "We can't keep running away. It's life." Kashmira Patel, on the other hand, has nothing like her husband's aplomb. "I'm frightened for everyone," she says. "It can happen to anyone, anywhere."
That seems to be the message that this latest wave of terrorists badly want to drive home. No one is safe. [Italics in original -- ed.]
The article describes terrorism a fact of life. Considering terrorist attacks to be a fact of life is precisely what no one should be doing; we must continue to work hard to put an end to them. Also, the article rewards the terrorists by telling them the attacks communicated their "message" and accomplished something. Newsweek seems to be saying, "Let's have more terrorist attacks so we can sell more magazines."
This comes just a few months after discussion of the January 31st Newsweek fiasco, which made them appear so untrustworthy.
