Skunk, I do agree that the bombings did not change the overall outcome of the election. However, the 30-point swing it caused WILL have the effect of encouraging future attacks around elections as a political tool -- A.Q. will see the obvious results.
I also think you misrepresent the meaning of the quote. I think the language you quoted does NOT amount to an insinuation that "that 'westerners' do not care who they hurt in life as they do not believe that they will have to pay for their 'crimes' in the after life."
The quote
Quote:
This is a response to the crimes that you have caused in the world, and specifically in Iraq and Afghanistan, and there will be more, if God wills it.
You love life and we love death, which gives an example of what the Prophet Muhammad said.
If you don't stop your injustices, more and more blood will flow and these attacks will seem very small compared to what can occur in what you call terrorism."

Tells me no more than what was represented by the author.
I also further note that you are often trying to explain the terrorists' messages and what they are complaining about and what they are trying to say. Personally, I don't give 2 farts about those things -- I just want to see their dead terrorist corpses laid out in a pleasing arrayment of justified death. My opinion.
