In Rome, mashalling resources around a cause, harness opinion and get to decision was also the caracteristic of power and powerful people. It is just that now, a lot of it happens around the virtual city of the Internet.

Ah - the power to convene...always useful by any mechanism....
population, but it's been around a lot longer than you think as it applies to the terrorist movements that have been around for the last sixty years or so. Especially the status and influence part, as that's what motivates the majority of the leaders of the terrorist organisations, that and a bit of power, but as power over others not self-enpowerment and control.
Terrorism has been around as long as warfare itself...but a byte at a time wars, terrorism, violence are subsiding as the human species get more civilized....it might not feel like it sometimes - but that is the impact of the media and the internet....and the few gradually become the many...
