it diffuses the Stateside threat, or do you think it doesn't it matter at this point, we're a target anyway. S3, We have been hit at least once a year for 10 years by terrorists. I guess I do think we are a target. I do not believe European political actions will ever diffuse the threat against us. We are capable of fighting on many fronts....so are the terrorists. I spoke to General Steiner (4 star, Ret) last year. He is a member of both of the top terrorist committees convened in Wash, DC. Steiner told me that there are 1.5 billion Muslims on earth. 10% or 150 million are militarists. 10% of them or 1% of the total are extremists. That is a total of 15 million extreme, militant Muslims running around. He thought at least 10% of them are capable of a suicide attack on any given day. Steiner carefully explained that they are never going to run out of suicide attackers. The FBI and the Pentagon have acknowledged that they do not have the capacity or capability to stop suicide attacks. Yes, I guess I do think we are a target. The most influential Muslim clerics and other Muslim leaders are urging the extreme, militant Muslims to wage Jihad against us. Yup, we are a target alright. uw
