Terrorists can't hold a candle to our unintended consequences

POST: Complexity and Resilience

I was expecting Steve to blog this one the minute I read the headline, so I passed.

This post fulfills my expectations and re-iterates an old point for me on terrorists: it's fun to cast them--rather fantastically--as the new masters of our complex universe, but evolutionary-wise, they fall primarily into the "useful idiot" class (challenging in their ways, but hardly at the head of the class, where our own unintended consequences reign supreme on a day-to-day basis).
