While I wouldn't characterize it as a "bitter pill" I definitely believe it is a new era in terrorism. While there have certainly been Arab victims of terrorism the attacks in Iraq over the last several months will do as much or more damage to terrorist organizations than the US's war on terror. Al Qaeda and others will be further alienated from the majority of Muslims and any support the more moderate Muslims gave to the extremists will deteriorate.
