Ok, Tim you are correct, Communism is not one large organization. I inaccurately described communism, when I suggested it was. It is possible, that a small group of people, calling themselves communist, could get together and blow themselves up, and that would be the end of the threat from that group of people. Totally possible. But you know what, wasting so much energy has been wasted in getting me to admit that possibility, I think is exactly the wasted effort Neocon wrote about. Who cares? It is such a tiny insignificant strawman argument. If the communist commit a terrorist attack on us, it would be huge. You want to nitpick, by saying what is a communist? We do not have a missile defense system right now. If we got hit by missiles, took out a bunch of our cities, you know what, we may not even know it was the communist who sent them. I mean, the communist are still a major major threat. Wasting energy saying they aren't, I mean, how is that positive? And if it was an attack, it would probably be coincidental to other domestic acts of terrorism. Or, it could just be one communist, doing one bad act. I think that he would have access to more information and knowledge about how best to do the most damage, than a freaking dentist. Of course, it depends on how you define a commie.
