The goal of terrorism is to push a country towards a police state.  Subjected to increased police powers, people will blame the government, and will rise up against that government.    So terrorism is an indirect attempt to destabilize a country.  I think that was a big part of why the 9&amp;#x2F;11 attacks were carried out.&lt;p&gt;Of course, it didn&amp;#x27;t work.  In the USA, George Bush got re-elected, and citizens aren&amp;#x27;t doing much more than grumbling about abuses of power by the police forces.  Of the chain of causation that Qaeda was hoping to trigger, only the first one took place: enormously increased policing.  No major government change has followed.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>TSA jails innocent traveler when he asks to file a complaint</title><url>http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20150204_TSA_jails_innocent_traveler_when_he_asks_to_file_a_complaint.html</url><text></text></story>
