Think back to the days of the old USSR. Now Muslims hated the USSR far more than they have ever or will ever hate the US, but there were damn few terrorist attacks in the Soviet Union. Why? Because on the rare occasion that it did happen, the Soviets would figure out who did it and wipe out entire villages. They didn't have to do that very many times for the word to get around, don't try to bully the Soviets , it doesn't work.

I'm not saying that we should do that, I'm simply saying these countries know we won't, so they push us. Hell, you don't see North Korea lobbing any missiles into the Russian territorial waters, do you?
