>>> I'd put money on that not happening in the next 20 years.

Why? Why would you be so certain of this?

To be sure, 20 years isn't an appropriate period for this kind of event (to "protect" the nation, you are looking at much longer time frames -- 50 years, 100 years). But what gives you confidence such an attack will not occur in the next 20 years?

Your remark is suggestive of a lack of understanding of the issues.

Your WAG of 20 years sounds about right. It's not easy for a country to get a nuke, let alone a bunch of terrorists.
