Well, Gary Hart was right before and he's been saying the next is more likely to occur in the heartland: Cleveland, Chicago, etc., probably bio. Between that and car bombs, it's gonna be a tough year I fear.

"The pervasive ignorance in this country, of what is significant in the Muslim world, is going to cost many lives." Tolerance & understanding is a two way street. Much of what is posted on this thread is far too frequently like that statement of yours. One sided & Anti-American. Their ignorance of us, much of it false & misleading, is fed to them by their governments & their religious leaders. If they bring death & destruction to innocent civilians with terrorist atrocities, it will be at their severe peril. There is absolutely no excuse for either types of behavoir. And the former in no way justifies the latter. I will support their demise if they choose terrorism over understanding & tolerance. We are a peaceful nation. However, evil cannot be allowed to thumb its' nose at us & threaten our security. The Butcher of Baghdad did just that. Diplomacy, peace & tolerance utterly failed after 12 long years. If certain extremists choose to use this action to attack US interests or its' citizens, it will be their mistake. They should choose peace & tolerance first, just like the US did with the Butcher of Baghdad. They will find that we can be very understanding & tolerant in a civil dispute.
