"It was another failure for the terrorists."

Ralph Peters examines the Indonesia bombing.

"...the encouraging fact is that the bombing in Indonesia was the best the terrorists could do: They can't defeat America, so they killed some folks having lunch.

"The terrorists dream of destroying the United States and bringing down Western civilization, of purifying their own societies and imposing their degenerate version of Islam on all of humankind. So they marshal their resources - and blow up a hotel lobby.

"It doesn't sound as if they're making much progress.

"Turn down the media noise and imagine yourself in the place of Mad Mustapha, career terrorist. After his 9/11 'triumph,' America's ferocious reaction robbed him of his safe haven in Afghanistan, badly crippling history's most successful terrorist organization in the process, then eliminated Iraq as a possible sanctuary. Other states that once applauded him now shun him, from Pakistan to Yemen to Libya. And his best buds are getting the big suntan in Gitmo."

Osama called the 9-11 attacks the "battle of New York and battle of Washington." He now has a battle against a hotel lobby.
