Indeed they do. Until some weirdo accompanied by a popsie arrives in a blue box, then it's game over.

Seriously, I agree with Lonewolf, that until the assorted terrorist organisations start making an effort to hit the people at the very top, they will not be seen to be a serious threat. So a bus is blown up in Volgograd, but will it really make Putin tremble and rethink? Not likely.

Ram a bus into the front of the Kremlin and then blow it up while Putin is in residence; that might give him a little more to think about.

The psychological effect of the IRA's bombing in Brighton was as effective as the physical damage and the casualties they caused. Let's face it, they came pretty damn close to killing the PM, and that one attack made a much bigger impression on the government than any number of car bombs and gun attacks in Northern Ireland.
