In my humble opinion (sometimes!!) there will not be an attack during the remainder of the Bush term. Our enemies know that would strengthen not only him but could affect who gets the WH next.....only an opinion.

Beyond that, knowing the Muslim credo to kill as many Americans/Christians as possible it is only a matter of time. They have the patience to take years to make and then execute a plan. They count on American complacency. Also affecting their timing, like it or not our country has become more difficult to pull off such spectaculars as 9/11.

When one ponders the subject for any length of time....it raises some fundamental questions.
One would be, since they are so good at the cowardly suicide bombings in their own back yard......why hasn't it been employed else where?

I worry more about a terrorist with a bomb setting himself off in a shopping mall than another 9/11. Imagine the chaos....the fear (their biggest advantage).
Right behind that....school buses....food supplies....etc.
One explanation why this has not happened yet is their need for the spectacular. And there are those who continue to believe they will not rest until a mushroom cloud rises from one of our cities.

As all the officials querried on the subject state....it is not a matter of if....just when!
Hopefully they are wrong.

National ID system is one of the most effective deterrents as well as border control.
That is not likely due to all the special interest groups wailing about invasion of privacy. To protect my family, children, grand children and so on....bring it on (please no invasion of privacy lectures it is a concept I do not believe in or respect.....my choice right).

That's my $3.95 (adjusted for inflation)

BTK ;D ;D
