Better safe than sorry, I guess... I was in NYC the last time the threat level was raised to orange. My friends back in Hoosierland were freakin' out until I told them that NYC had been on orange *since* 9/11/01, IIRC.

People do not understand. We are playing right into their hands. You don't have to have a physical act of violence to be terrorized.

The terrorists are winning this "war on terror" against us, without firing a shot.

We are spending millions protecting ourselves against fear. They have this country terrified and that is their goal.This color coded alert chart is nonsence. What should I do different today, with orange , or with red tomorrow.

No country in the world could win a war against the USA militarily. But whoever the terrorists are, I beleive they are winning their war against the US.

IMHO

With all due respect, that is absurd.

The economy is rebounding with its strongest growth in 20 years.

We defeated Iraq and captured Saddam.

Libya just gave up its WMD

Very good progress has been made against terrorist groups, with many arrested or killed.

The US is politically stable

Please get a grip, the terrorists are winning their psychological war on you, not the rest of us
