"Attacking NYC would accomplish many of their goals, attacking Omaha NE (which im sure is a very nice little city) would have a miminal effect."

Minimal effect? Have you not noticed the gigantic effect that just under 3,000 deaths on September 11, 2001 in New York had on this country? Terrorists could easily kill that many people in Omaha, Nebraska and Louisville, Kentucky.

I wasn't trivalizing the attacks in NYC on 9/11. I live close enough from NYC to know a few people who had lost someone that day. I was mearly stating that an attack on Wall Street would be much worse for the USA.

I understand the hostility from people regarding NYC due to the fact that liberals outnumber conservatives in the city 6 to 1. Instead of cutting funds to punish the liberals, perhaps the better method is to have federal oversight on exactly where this money goes instead of stupid block grants. NYC is the prime #1 terrorist target and needs to be protected as such.
