Scumbria, terror scare is a side show IMO. The tribulation and troubles in the market is much more devastating. Yes, they may attack but they'll not be able to pull something on the scale of 9.11 off any time soon. Lesser attacks would be absorbed by America and would strengthen their resolve so it doesn't make any sense. If they're really willing and able to use weapons of mass destruction then that is a whole new ball game. I think U.S. would somehow absorb that too but the retaliation would undoubtedly be very serious. Maybe it's denial but no, I don't think it'll come to this. Also bear in mind that it hasn't been the a.-Q. style to pile it on. They can wait. This is asymmetrical warfare from their viewpoint. Typically you attack when it's least expected (by the public at least).
