All too frequently, terrorists succeed in what they've set out to achieve. That's why this continues to be an issue. There's a saying among terrorists: "We only have to be lucky once. You will have to be lucky always." The security services are only too aware of this unpleasant fact.

At the same time, the list of examples of when this backfires are legion. It's not like terroristic acts always win out. Hamas' Sinwar must have forgotten what Hezbollah's Nasrallah learned in 2006; or, he figured that he could make it work better than Nasrallah did with remarkably fewer resources and backing.

As always seems to be the case, the terrorists seem not to care at all about the penalty paid by the people they claim to care about most.
