Bad News or Good News?

So terrorism attacks have increased, but none of them have been against United States civilians.

A hard headed cynic might say this is good for the US. We're directing the violence elsewhere...sort of throwing it back to the Middle East where it came from originally.

Don't mean to be an asshole, but if I had a choice between:

A terrorist attack against the US or a two terrorist attacks against Iraq, I'd take the latter. Sorry.
