Here in the midwest most people I run across are not really concerned about the war on terror or terrosits acts because so far nothing has affected them personally. That is why we MAY lose the wot. The american peoples hearts are not into it.
If a major city gets nuked though it will be a different story...or if their tv or internet get shuts down by a terrorist act watch out for repercussions though.
Here in New York most people are not concerned about terrorist acts, either. In fact, I've said before that the "war on terror" was officially over (and lost) back in 2002 when the New York City Council decided that cigarette smoke was the most pressing issue the city faced.
