Who knows.....but I have no doubts that there will be some sort of attack.

This news article is subject to as much suspicion and criticism as any other news article. Just as the polling statistics you posted to me earlier are subject to criticism and suspicion. For instance.....who did the polling, when was the poll conducted and under what circumstances? Was it a polling agency with a proven track record? Was it someone from the US or Afghan government? Did they only poll men, women, people with jobs, people without jobs, the Afghan military and/or government workers or did they poll the average Afghani person walking down the street? Who did they poll? What age bracket and who did they not poll and why? Where did they conduct this poll? In cafes, the market/s, the library? I doubt they did a telephone poll. You didn't provide a link. -g-

I think most Americans are going to be absolutely dumbfounded when we are hit again, and that most of them have pushed this threat back into the recesses of their minds. They are only interested in life.....work, family, community just like Afghani, Iraqi or any other people....and that is perfectly normal.

The reasons terrorists do what they do, or how they plan to achieve their goals are a mystery to the great majority of us. Our only goal should be to try prepare as well as we possibly can by enlisting the support of all citizens and ensure cooperation among the various agencies who's job it is to protect us. By making people aware and educated about the possibilities.....we have fallen far short of that goal imo..... and hope or pray that we cover all bases.
