Soft Target

Al-Qaeda hits two targets in Algiers, one the UN offices. A soft target, nothing to do with Iraq. WSJ:

Americans have been fortunate not to have been struck on their homeland since 9/11, even as so many other nations have. If our furious domestic debates over "torture" and terrorist wiretapping are an indication, many Americans seem to assume that this kind of immunity will continue and has nothing to do with U.S. antiterror policies since September 11. Algiers is a reminder of the dangers in making such assumptions.

An America soft on terror becomes a soft target.
