what does it take to demolish the centers of business and defense of a nation of global power with a monstrous and shockingly successful venture and then to remain so incredibly silent: no cheering, no avowal, no self-praise? (and i am not talking about the supporters, i am talking about the "master-minds".)

although, according to laqueur, one typical characteristic of terrorism is in fact anonymity, there was always at least one lasting confession, a letter, a sign, an announcement of responsibility by at least one specific group (most of the time it were many and it was necessary to find out the real jerks).

this time, the sparse confessions were repudiated almost immediately, nobody wanted to have committed this crime. does this mean the perpetrators got scared of their own vulgarity and its consequences or is this really a new type of terrorism that does not claim any demands but instead has the one and only goal to destroy, nurture chaos and create irrational attention to an invisible and therefor invincible power?

another observation: now that they lost so many sheeps, not many will hear the leaders of christianity in vatican and representatives of christian churches in europe defending islam and the muslim people. strange, very strange.
