"I don't think J.Q. Public can take daily/weekly attacks on shopping malls, sporting events, and what-not for very long."

Depends on where the attacks occur. If they hit New Jersey or San Francisco or the granola crunchers in Seattle, I'd bet you'd be right. But let them try that crap in Texas, or Georgia or here in Florida and see what happens when a citizen with a CCW permit cuts them down. That's a certainty. At some point, somebody is going to forcefully show the RATS the true meaning of the 2nd Amendment and maybe the rest of the country will come to their senses. Unless, of course they fall victim to liberal whining about "assault weapons."

The problem is that the terrorists never put themselves anywhere where we can fight back. In the case of suicide bombers (such as the 9/11 terrorists), they're dead, and all links with their sponsors are also dead or at any rate very hard to track.

I'm not sure that we'd know where to look for the guilty parties in a new terrorist attack. (It would be tempting, and I live in FL too, so I know what you mean.)

But I think Americans in general, not only on the Krunchy Koasts, but just the average Americans you work with, have been so undermined by the press, particularly in the last year, that I honestly don't think we'd see the same unified reaction this time that we saw to 9/11.

Granted, I may be excessively pessimistic about this, but that's my sense of things. The Dems have done everything possible to destroy Americans' self-respect, independence, and courage, and unfortunately, I think they've done a very good job of it.

Leave New Jersey our of your analyses of "roll-over" states. Take out a map, find Manhattan, see proximity to NJ. 9-11 wasn't an abstraction here, it was reality. I saw the smoke rising into the sky from my back patio.
