I recently mused on a similar subject from the opposite direction. That is, that attacks by "lone wolves" are much easier to dismiss as isolated incidents than attacks by organized groups.

Remember what happened to Kerry when he talked about "terrorism as a nuisance".
Why do you hate America Jesse?

Truly leaderless resistance has almost no probability of securing big bombs and nasty gasses. If the implication is that nationless terrorist organizations should be considered primarily under this category, I disagree.
A nation is one unit of organization and leadership, and it is the one we have evolved deterrents to deal with. There is a real problem with organized terrorists who aren't necessarily organized under a national flag.

It's a problem with precedent in our national history, though.

Ooh, creepy synergy... That's the theater I saw Team America in! No chance of me getting killed by a fellow theater-goer, tho: I was the only person in the show, probably in the whole theater complex.

"creepy synergy"
I think you mean "synchronicity" rather than "synergy"...
