N2  - Repeatedly, during the last few years, small groups of extremists have demonstrated that by using terrorist tactics they can achieve disproportionate effects. They attract worldwide attention to themselves and their causes; they arouse worldwide alarm, and can create international incidents that national governments are compelled to deal with, often before a worldwide audience. To protect against their attacks or to respond to crisis situations they create, they force governments to expend resources--manpower, money, the attention of senior officials--vastly out of scale with the magnitude of the actual threat they pose.1<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
