He won't make progress because he needs terrorism for political purposes. He can justify greater control for himself. He can divert attention from his criminal activities. He can line the pockets of himself and his buddies. He can do all sorts of things to make himself look strong and great.

Besides being self-centered, willfully uninformed, etc., I believe he is evil. I believe he is capable of deliberately causing such events in order to stroke his desperate needs.
