So, is it against the law now to discuss how to bring down America? ;) Just making sure before I post and some Secret Service agent shows up at my doorstep. ;) Along with what Larry said, I'd also say that if the attackers were willing to engage in terrorist activities, but of a different sort than what we have seen far, it would greatly damange us and be much easier to pull off then 9/11. I believe I've mentioned this before, so forgive me for repeating, but I've often wondered why Osama didn't follow up the 9/11 attack, which was on a major US city, which numerous attacks in _tiny_ cities. While 9/11 was scary, it was, for most folks I think, something that occured "in the big city", not in their back yard, yet it would be amazingly trivial to pull off minor attacks across the country. And the best part is that it wouldn't even matter if you killed anyone. If you were to walk into the Walmart in Crowley, Louisiana and blow yourself up, taking out maybe 2-3 people besides you, and this was done in various other small cities across America, it would seem like it would have a _very_ dramatic effect, maybe even more so than 9/11, since no one would feel safe anywhere. And just to be anal, of course I don't want this to happen, but I do wonder why terrorists only seem to target big cities. On a related note, do most people live in smaller, medium, or large cities? I mean as a whole of course. -ray ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
