Yes, you are correct, the terrorists did win. My brother has often commented on the countless number of times the Bush govt has issued terror alerts - to a point where people started to ignore them. Sort of like the boy who cried wolf syndrome. Or the countless times he boarded a plane only to see Muslim or Middle East passemgers given the stare by fellow passengers - not to mention the quiet whispers. As far as he's concerned, the sooner they get Bush out of office the better.
