Terrorism is a legitimate form of warfare

Terrorism would be a lot more legitimate if it was even remotely effective. I just don't see terrorist activity helping anyone's cause. Surely after the gloating and apparent victory, Osama must have been very disappointed in the results of 9-11. Palestinians and the IRA have also got very little to show for their efforts except a hardened enemy.

The question isn't so much is it legitimate. The question is, is it effective. I just don't think it is and it makes all the pain and suffering all the more pointless.
