Ok..let me put my tinfoil hat on here. Just had a thought, albiet a small one but a thought nonetheless. A few weeks ago it was reported that some group had been trying to blackmail France by blowing up trains if they didn't get some money. Now, maybe...just maybe....they proved they could do it by blowing up trains in Spain. Am I way out on a limb here??

Actually, I don't think you are that far out on a limb.

What would happen if AQ announced it had placed bombs and detonators or remote detonators around major cities in Italy, France, Spain, etc., and would detonate those bombs unless those cities complied with some request?

I used to think I knew the answer to that sort of question. Today, I do not know anything for certain except that the United States would not permit itself to be blackmailed in such a way by AQ or anyone. The rest of the world, I'm not sure at all.

Too many Neville Chamberlain's out there. Our public schools at work; don't teach history...teach self esteem and touchy feely stuff that won't get anyone jobs and so we have a workforce that doesn't know how to find the bathroom alone and can't adjust to a changing world and jobs go overseas. Don't hold anyone to standards or dare to judge anyone and so corporations go to the lowest common denominator - the dollar - and America loses some more.

No, I didn't find your post tinfoil at all, unfortunately.
