A mass murder directly related to not even defending ourselves will revolutionize a lot of things. Mark my words.

I sure hope so but it happened once a little over 5 years ago and I don't see any significant change except that now it's harder for your average American citizen to travel by plane. If something like this happens again, I wouldn't want to look muslim in this country. While there may no be any government action without huge public outcry, and I expect it would be minimal at best, just enough to quiet the masses, I think the average citizen will be much more willing to take action himself.

If you recall, Bush was seemed just days or weeks away from an amnesty deal with Fox until 9/11 happened (remember that tour Vincent took of Chicago, where he rode a white horse to cheering Mexicans as if in victory?). And of course Afghanistan and Iraq hadn't happened. Plus now we have national drivers license standards which all states must meet next year.

So I think we got at least something. And amnesty since then has been near impossible. However, in any sane country a wall along the Mexican border would have shot up after 9/11, and employers with illegals on the payroll would have zoomed into their own federal prison cells.

I think you're right, if it happens again it will get real ugly on a personal level. On a national level it will be huge, but what exactly will happen I can't quite imagine. Impeaching Bush, to replace him with Chenny? Who knows what will happen, but now I fear odds are against there not being another mass murder in the U.S.A.

We WILL have another attack and this time I think the Feds will drop the hammer. They've got all the laws they need to do it. The only thing is that I doubt they will be dropping the hammer on the bad guys but on U.S. citizens. We will probably see martial law and a typical overeaction by law enforcement once they get the power to do basically anything they want.
