The fact is, committing a terrorist act is harder than it sounds. Folks say that a suicide bomber is impossible to stop, but, most stop themselves. "Hmmm, what if it was really 72 dates or figs, not virgins. Heck, I don't even like dates and only like figs in fig newtons. Crap, I'm getting these explosives off my chest and donating them to some cheap mining operator in West Virginia." It is amazing how fast stories of a Paradise, where you can do all the stuff you weren't allowed to do on Earth, becomes suspect when you are ready to blow your body all over a train station. Non suicide acts are even tougher to commit. Look how many times they tried to kill Hitler. Anyone who uses a computer or a cell phone knows that technology often does not work and nearly never works when you really, really want it to work.

the government has fingerprints all over terrorism... 1. operation northwoods - plan included assassinating americans to start illegal war with cuba. 2. false flag gulf of tonkin to terrorize vietnam and kill 50k+ americans. 3. FBI designed bomb that exploded in 1993 WTC blast - salem was an informant who tried to talk FBI out of using real material - probably would have been a patsy if he didn't tape calls with FBI. 4. oklahoma city - no way a truck took that building down like that - bombs internal to the building did. the truck would have blown in all direction - it could not have physically directed its blast in one direction like that. no wonder the government refuses to release the video tapes of the blast it confiscated. the governor admitted unexploded bombs were found inside the building. 5, mumbai attacks were led by man with US intelligence connections - he's now in US custody and will not be extradited to india. 6. fort hood shooter - government was tracking his correspondence with bad guys and sat on hands. 7. underwear bomber - CIA was notified he was high risk by his father, patrick kennedy tried to pull his visa, but US intelligence told him not to. he was escorted through the airport and onto the plane lacking proper documentation by a "well dressed man" who had the authority to over ride the denial by the ticket agent (apparently got approval from airport management). the government tried to lie, but an attorney witness refused to recant his story even though the government tried to portray the truth teller as a liar. hey, body scanners for everyone... and profits for chertoff. problem, reaction, solution... are you sure domestic terrorism isn't occurring? give us the money with no strings attached or we blow up your economy? vote down TBTF or we'll vaporize the stock market?
