Some of these people they interview on TV seem to think "IT" can't happen here again because of all of the "stepped up" security, awareness and such......got news for you all.....it can and will happen again unless these freaks are dealt with and that right quick!

It seems impossible to put a genie back in it's bottle......it will definately happen here again.....might not initially be by an Islamist terrorism group, but it will happen here again.

All groups with political agendas can now see terrorism as a final weapon to getting their way if they feel they are loosing their cause......Christian Foundamentalist bombings of abortion clinics = terrorism.

Maybe we should start nuking churches that are known to associate with extreme christian groups now then?

Everyone wants to nuke the middle east, so why not nuke here at home?

Just start another superfund after.

I work on the periphery of the international security business. BigFish is absolutely correct in his assessment that it will happen here again. It may not be a plane or a train or a bus but the extremist will use whatever means thay can to strike terror into the American public.
Of couse, Nuking a Middle East country will not solve the problem. leaving Iraq will not either. What the hell, we weren't there on 9/11 were we?
No, the answer is a lot more complex and, trust me, I'm not bright enough to know what it is.
I know I fought for my country in a foreign land back in the 60's and it burns me to see what is happening here and around the world. We are now relegated to these "Alerts" so we can be more vigilant.
I just feel that if we are going to wage war, then by God, let's do it!!!

Yep....has always been the downfall of the US since the days of WWI.

Why is it that the US is the (or at least was the first) only country in history to not TAKE OVER a country once we beat them in war? Doesn't that kind of make the whole purpose of the war in the first place irrelevant? What's the point in beating up your sworn enemy (AFTER THEY PUNCHED YOU FIRST) and then just going home and letting them attack you again tomorrow?
