I would tend to say yes, just because most American attention span is about a 15 second snippet on the news. If that starts to sound redundant, most Americans will be on that remote in a heartbeat.

At some point we will lose count and become indifferent. Perhaps that is why terrorism will not work against the American people.

 

My worry is they will up the ante with live executions, or something worse (is there) than beheading.

If they start to do it live there will be a few reactions. Number one American's will never see that live on TV or recorded, or in any other form. The networks would never carry it. Number two, they will outrage their own people. It is one thing to know that something like that is going on, it would be a totally different thing to show it live on a Al Jazerra. By and large Muslims are a peacible people, and as a whole they wouldn't stand for that. Also if it were done live that would involve satillites which are very tracable by American technolgy. We would find them.

I was thinking web cast which would be far easier to set up and hide.

Those are pretty easy to find too.
