They thought...

They thought that attacking the United States on 9/11 would plunge the country into despair and fear, would keep us out of the middle east and out of their jihad against the Western world.

They were wrong.

They thought that attacking Spain on 3/11 would change that country's policy and, ultimately, their presence in Iraq.

They were right.

They thought that attacking England on 7/7 would cow the Brits into pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan. They thought it would serve as a warning to Italy and Denmark to do the same.

Time will tell.
