the european attacks were on the transportation systems that would cripple the capitals of those countries. i think they're a bit more ambitious than just killing innocents like in malls and stuff. it wouldn't net them much global support.

Their goal is to terrorize, thus the term terrorists. They want to force Americans to alter their daily routines, in a sense take away our freedom, to the point that we don't feel free to do what we want. Like go to a football game or ride the subway without the fear of getting blown up.
Global support isn't anything that they have ever worried about.
