i would say terrorism works against countries that have to put up at least a facade of upholding human rights.
the main difference between the declaring jihad against the US and China is that China doesn't have to pay any lip service about human rights. In CHina the common people would actually approve the government in the use of torture against terrorist. The various groups in the US would be up in arms if a terrorist suspect so much look like he has burise.
