The Romans used the discipline of military formations to win. Later Ghengis Khan was among the first warriors to use calvary. Later still the English used long bows to defeat the French. Behind every major shift of power, there is a basic social/scientific revolution, of sorts, that determines who the next in power will be. I believe that technology is the modern equivalent to the crossbow. Ideals bind these terrorists more than any sense of nationalism ... meaning that they can come from anywhere at any time. That's frightening enough. Add to that the fact that, as the U.S.S.R. was going broke and couldn't pay it's own military, it became a virtual black flea market of advanced weaponry for some very unscrupulous people. Combine that with the fact that modern communication, transportation, ect allow terror to happen with fewer people and resources than you have the fact that any idiot with enough money can basically buy power and use it at a whim. I can't exactly form my whole thought coherently but you get the jist.
