Bringing the UK to it's knees.

I have said that the terrorists are almost unstoppable due to their numbers and willingness to die. A few will get through no matter what we do. A competent leader with a couple of dozen of these guys could bring the UK to it's knees in a few months. All it would take is a capability of performing basic tasks and with a lot of money to back them up plus an actual plan which revolved around not just blowing yourself up. But luckily so far they seem to be lead by incompetents. That surely can't last long.

Most of our defences are actually built around the principle of the bad guy wants to get home to his wife and kids and get away with it. Be he bank robber, police officer, soldier, burglar, etc. So we don't go on clear suicide missions nor do we let our identity get out to avoid retribution in one way or another. If getting away with it is difficult then we have a rethink and, if necessary, give up for something else.

That is not the case with these guys. They are not bothered about being identified nor of escaping. In fact it seems to be the case that they don't even try. They go in with no intention of even coming out. It's almost as if they don't want to take the chance of bombing somewhere. Escaping and being captured alive. Now if they planned for getting away but were also prepared to die if cornered like rats. It would not be long before the West would be really in terror of these guys. And not a government led terror either. It would be our governments that would be in fear. What would happen then would depend on who our leader were.

Long may they be disorganised.
