Which is the whole idea of the OP's program... I wonder how his peers (or the courts) would see it.

They don't want the US messing with their government, because they can influence their own government enough, but they can't do much against the US government.

Motive not withstanding, the response would probablly be the same. Outrage at the atrocity, a short period of awareness and change, followed by a feeling of complacency until something happens again. People would 'feel safe' look at all the things we did right after it happened, surely things have improved since then. Then go back to the way things were.
To paraphrase DaWei, no matter how hard you try you can't cure the stupid.

You may have noticed I didn't mention the EU, that's because they don't do a **** thing. All they want to do is talk, which isn't gonna work with terrorist.

I wonder if such a prank would be that much more acceptable accross the pond. I doubt it, but i'm not as familiar with Eurpoean culture.

No... no it's not, we've (US) been apathetic about 'security' until we flubbed the hurricaine response, there will be another period of awareness which has probablly already almost ended, which will return to apathy until the next botched response. We'd rather do what's easy rather than what's right until it's too late.
