One thing that most people don't realize is that the terrorists already have what they wanted. All they wanted was a "Holy War". It doesn't really matter to them who wins the war. Winning is not the point. They must fight the war.

We will wind up giving them their war. The powers that be will not allow them to shut down the airlines. The airlines are vital to the world's economy. The example will have to be made.

Nothing strikes terror like nuclear weapons. The U.S. could accomplish everything with conventional weapons, but they will not. They will want to display the most horrific example that they can. If they had a more terrifying weapon, then they would use it. They want everyone to see the horror of the mushroom cloud.

I feel sad. I think this will turn out to be more horrible that most of us have yet imagined. An example will be made. Probably it will be made out of Afghanistan. I will bet that at least a million innocent lives will be lost. This nightmare is just beginning.

I just spoke like I knew for sure what would happen. But I don't. It just seems to be the logical progression of events.
