I'm wondering if it's not going to be sooner.

IIRC, the "trigger" for the September 11, 2001 attacks was the assasination of Massood.

Given today's assasination of the Sheite clerics in Iraq (probably to ferment a civil war), I wonder if there isn't going to be more coming very soon.

Very interesting correlation, I did not know that. What sucks is that even if do manage to stop the big attacks, the scumbags will begin choosing much softer targets. I am appalled when I go to NYC and all people can yak about is how much Bush has destroyed the country and how great Kerry is. How could they have forgotten 9/11 so soon?

IIRC, Massood was quite influential--how important (compared to him) were the clerics killed today?
