It's going to be even scarier when they nuke New York this fall.
You know, it's sad to say, but you're probably right. It may not be NYC, but it is likely to coincide with the election. They'll try to do with us as they did with Spain and influence the elections. Hopefully, Kerry will be discredited enough by then that an incident like that won't turn the tide. Again, scary, but very likely.
My only comforts are a) that Washington DC is a slightly likelier target; and b) I have somewhere else I can be then.
