Scientists: Obama's election may reduce terrorism - Science Fair - USATODAY.com: "Will Barack Obama's election make terrorists less eager to strike? A data analysis released Thursday suggests it could make a difference. In the Science magazine study, researchers Alan Krueger of Princeton and Jitka Maleèková of the Economics Institute of the Czech Academy of Science in Prague looked at terrorist attacks in nine countries, including the U.S., and their relation to public opinion in India, Middle Eastern and North African nations. 'We found a greater incidence of international terrorism when people of one country disapprove of the leadership of another country,' concludes the study."
