Byman suggests that rather than simply labeling states with a "rogue state" status, true regime and political change is necessary in countries that pose this threat. He also asserts that this has "little to do with Washington," however, and thus is not advocating direct military action by the U.S. Or other nations/international entities to bring about this change.

Metz sees the "new" state sponsored terrorism as terrorism sponsored against external enemies, and the three goals he identifies for such terrorism are to undermine the other regime's support, to break the morale of its elites, or to change a particular policy of the regime.

Seattle has been fortunate in that it has never experienced an actual international attack, but has had three major domestic incidents since 1999 that continue to be in the minds of Emergency Management professionals.
