Here's his quote and I'll follow with my questions:
Yet these young democracies are still fragile, and the forces of terror are seeking to stop liberty's advance and steer newly free nations to the path of radicalism. The terrorists fear the rise of democracy because they know what it means for the future of their hateful ideology.Is it me or is the W, Rove and Co assigning too much credibility to the terrorist agenda? Moreover, I thought that, really, there was only one point to terrorism. This leads me to...drum roll please...

Commit terror: change the world
The point of terrorism is to destabilize the status quo. Terror has the opposite effect. It hardens the status quo.
Were terror effective in changing the status quo, terror could as effectively establish democracy (Democracy or else! Zoroasterism or else! Free lunch or else!), as establish Sharia of the 6th century.
Effective terror would be a dandy tool but one that cuts in ways terrorists haven't begun to imagine. They're so naive. Children, really.
