However, any of these events, if they occur, could make our life miserable and debilitate our response to further terrorism. Economically, any of these events could precipitate a Depression.
I agree that this is the worst case scenario. I think all this existential fear is overwrought. As for the capacity of the terrorists to execute the worst case scenario, I would think that very slim although certainly worth preparing for as best we can.
BTW, thanks for posting the link to that instrument for identifying political leanings. I always find those kinds of tools interesting. This one had some unanswerable questions, though, so I don't know about it. FWIW, I came out in the lower right quadrant, as expected, more towards the center point of the graph than the extreme. That was a tad less libertarian than I would have expected, but not much, pretty close overall, so maybe the strange questions are OK. |
