They will want to hit us as they did Spain, prior to the election. You can say we are not Spain. They don't know that and frankly we don't know that. They know Kerry will equivocate they must defeat Bush. Inaugaration day is too late. IF we are "lucky" they will do a desperation car bomb attack or two. If we are less lucky they will do something horrible on a grand scale. And of course, they would love to assasinate our president. Or a member of his family. these things are likely in the next few weeks.
I think you could be right. They of course want to attack before election day. I think, however, that we will lower our guard right after the election, thinking that we got through it safely. That is when they might attack which is why I have been concerned about the inauguration.
