Fortunately, for the Allies, his command and control mechanisms were often so badly damaged that he was unable to mount a coordinated terrorist campaign against the Kuwaiti supporters. Had Hussein been further able to threaten and exploit the fear of the populations of the democracies and commit greater atrocities in Europe and the Americas, he hoped that political pressures would have been brought to bear against the Allies to quit the war effort even sooner. Hussein's revenge motive is undoubtedly a tangible factor to be considered for the future. As President Bush's war on drugs continues and continued pressure is put on the Mendellin Drug cartel and others, the chance of a terrorist attack against America or her leaders increases. As greater U.S. resources and urgency are given to the problem, the greater the odds of retaliation by the drug dealers.
Terrorist organizations live and grow by the publicity that they receive.
It is likely that Hussein, the Mendellin Cartel, Mohammar Qadaffi or some other disgruntled would-be despot will undoubtedly provide them with the arms and money to attack again. Last and worthy of mention is the emergence of Islamic extremist groups, who are likely to commit acts of violence against Israel and her Western allies. Confirmed reports go back to 1980 and a raid on a safe-house in France, where strains of Botulism and literature describing the use of biological weapons were found. The use by Iraq of chemical and biological weapons in it's long running war against Iran is almost common knowledge. Terrorists seem most attracted to the use of these weapons due to the the possible widespread affect of the toxins and the fear that they can breed.
