I think it would probably gain us some Allies. The terrorists might even lose some credibility in the eyes of likeminded fanatics. For this reason, I don't see it happening.
I can see that point of view but on the other hand, they don't seem to realize that chopping men's heads off won't intimidate us. I really think that they feel that by doing things like that they will influence the American public to put pressure on the government to pull out. I think that they view the American public as having a weak stomach for that sort of thing, like we pulled out of Somalia after the dead Rangers were pulled naked through the streets. They just might think that a female would be shocking and disturbing enough to break American resolve and taste for war.
