Hi Jim - as Mq said, it's not all rot, there is no doubt that the US has enemies in the world. My point is that free-floating anxiety is hard on the system. Better to understand the enemy and worry about things that are likely to occur. Could Al Qaeda/Iraq/Iran/North Korea smuggle a number of nuclear and/or dirty bombs into the US and set them off more or less simultaneously? Sure. What would be the result? Highly unpleasant for those at ground zero or in the fallout path, highly inconvenient for the rest of us, but, you know what? Life would adjust and go on, pretty much the same as before. Weird but true. We aren't going back to the Stone Age, we aren't going to emulate Caligula, and we aren't going back on the gold standard.
