Who's penalising him ? I believe the criteria was 'terrorist attacks'. Not 'successful terrorist attacks'.

I believe the criterion was "under Bush, terrorism has reached an all-time high, not only in US, but on a global scale" actually. And I'm only disputing the first half of that.

What 'doesn't make for good terrorism' ? The fact that you can't recall it ?

Yes. It was pretty obvious that was my point. And you knew that, because you responded:

It depends, I suppose, on the level of awareness of the person being asked.

The purpose of terrorism is to make people afraid. If it goes unremembered by most then it wasn't particularly effective.

Who's penalising him ? I believe the criteria was 'terrorist attacks'. Not 'successful terrorist attacks'.

I haven't claimed that.

Tough luck, that's what I've been arguing about. A criticism of my selections of events isn't really meaningful outside of that argument.

btw, Reid's attack happened in Europe. Oops!
