After the recent few days of failed 'terrorist' actions in London and Glasgow I'm beginning to think the Darwin theory can be applied to terrorism.
In a time when suicide bombings are the favored method delivering carnage, success means removal from the gene pool; The knowledge of how to make something go bang dies with them. Great news for the rest of us who appreciate the sanctity of life.
Take the 7/7 bombers - sadly they succeeded in detonating all of the devices. However on 21/7 they failed as did the recent miserable efforts.
In 21/7 it seems they were using up left over material from 7/7 - an explosive that decays over a short amount of time - or just failed to follow the recipe.
Yesterday's pitiful effort proved just how little the would be mass murderers knew about making things go bang. Throwing together a load of flammable material does not make an explosive, you muppets. As the police pointed out, the device was 'potentially viable'. I.e. 'they didn't know what they were doing'.
Today they drove a burning vehicle into the front door to Glasgow airport - a building made mostly of steel, glass and concrete... not a material well known for its flammability.
Honestly, where do they find these idiots?
It seems that MI5 and improved social cohesion is making an impact.
Long may it last...

i am not sure your Darwin theory really holds... while it may reduce the population of people willing to go bang, people not willing to go bang are the ones behind it all and passing on bangtype knowledge. also in the current political climite there are increasing numbers of people who, however missguidedly, are willing to sacrifice themselves.
am not sure saying they are stupid is the right way to put it, there was no warning and next time who is to say it won't go to plan?
Well, the twin towers were also made of concrete, steel and glass. Nothing that burns... he ? Warmed up steel may not burn but it gets extremely weak.
I think the most saddening aspect of the whole thing is that they are medical doctors - people who normally save lives but have become so angry with the world (Bush/Blair.. whatever) that they will attempt to indiscriminately maim and kill hundreds of 'innocent' people.
