That's why it's called "terrorism"

You're right, we shouldn't feed into it. Ireland used to just get on with their daily lives, as we should. That's why I'm glad to see underwear bomber being treated like a common trashy criminal in the locked silence and stern view of a federal court (no public platform there opportunity there), versus being elevated to some attempted martyr jihad warrior.
Some news org was replaying Osama bin Laden talking from back just after 9-11, saying how he was going to distract the US by threat of attack, and hound us into bankruptcy.
