re: Yeah, yeah, you're more likely to die in a car accident than in an act of terrorism.

You are more likely to die from almost anything than terrorism. There is a hysteria in this country, reinforced by 1000 images of the WTC.


Actually I think its more than hysteria at this point.....I believe its tit for tat. In the lastest poll, 48% of Americans believe that Bush *wink wink* exaggerated the al Qaeda links and WMD but more than half think we did the right thing by attacking Iraq. In other words, it doesn't matter that Bush lied........Americans want revenge.

There are almost certainly going to be additional terrorist attacks in this country, but they are going to be much smaller, and they are going to be few and far between.

Yes, the response will be interesting.

but because he took 15-20 guys and changed the course of the most powerful nation in the world. He won, big time.

Unless being able to pull off 9/11 itself is winning big time I don't see how he did. He may have changed the course of the US to an extent but not to one that I think he is enjoying.
