OT Thread, It's almost 5:00PM. This is a sad day. I hope for limited casualties on all sides, and hope everyone stays safe.
I agree with Saturn - what if this incites even more terrorism? War kills people - and it might increase the likelihood for recruitement of terrorists. The LT answer isn't bombs that might incite recruitment & terrorism, but rather jobs, integration, and removal of repression.
I think Bush's approach might risk this:
cnn.com
"The federal government has not comprehensively assessed the chemical industry's vulnerabilities to terrorist attacks," the report read. Voluntary efforts, the report added, "are not sufficient" to ensure the public's safety.
"123 chemical facilities throughout the nation in which an accidental toxic release could endanger more than one million people in the surrounding area.
Each one of about 700 facilities could potentially threaten at least 100,000 people, and each of about 3,000 facilities could potentially threaten at least 10,000 people."
