"Have the terrorists already won" is a pretty common phrase, and I think it loses some of its meaning every time I hear it. It's right up there with "make no mistake" and "in the wake of". Whether or not they "won" or not is a very nebulous thing. It all depends on what their goals were, and it's really only something that they themselves can answer. I think it's going to get to the point where you could say this phrase after doing nearly anything.
I do see what you're saying, though, and i'm sure that's exactly what al-quaeda had in mind.
