I must point out that..to me...the cameras panning the stands in St. Louis compared to the fans in the METS' stadium shows a stark contrast.

I identify more with the Missouri people than the New Yorkers....and I'm originally from Buffalo, NY.

The St. Louis fans appear more apple pie, clean-cut, etc..

There were more families in the stands...they seemed more genteel to me.

With both samples a caucasian majority I'm not displaying any bigotry of which I am aware.

I don't want to turn this into a mutual admiration society-but you nailed it again! While I want to believe that the country will rally around the Prez-which they still may, or at least most will. There is a nagging feeling that this will hurt our President. I am not really worried about politics here (not in a strict sense) I am worried about his ability to lead our nation in a severe crisis-not that he is not a great leader-talking about being hamstrung. To hell with the election, if there is a devastating attack the mid terms take a backseat to continued solid focused leadership. That, of course being said, would be difficult with dem control. On the other hand if the attacks are as bad as warned the country (I pray) will unite.

Another red flag is the reported "cycle of warnings" from Al-Qeada. If you have an understanding of Islam and Jihad- ones enemies need to be warned three times. only then will the killing of noncombatants be acceptable. If the warnings are not heeded-so be it. I know I simplified it but the point is solid. The cycle of warnings HAS been followed and the bad guys have religious go aheads from some radical Imams....Why would AL-Qeada risk its credibility and not follow through on what they threaten?!!?

Hadn't we just established that he is from Brownsville, Texas? ;-) Oh well, perhaps the nick isn't that rare, after all…

Agreed 100%. Unfortunately, I have no confidence that the "other side" feels this way. All throughout the Iraq war they have done nothing but shown themsevlves to be political opportunists willing to endanger our soldiers' lives by undermining the President, publicly ridiculing him, belittling him, mocking him. They have encouraged the Iraqi "resistance" (nice term, huh?) to continue picking off our soldiers until we finally lose the political will to win. Why on earth would they change?

I work in the Seattle Municipal Tower, right across the street from the Columbia Center and six blocks north of Quest Field (Seahawks). The Columbia Center was one of the original targets for 9/11, but was "bumped" because of lack of manpower. When that plane flew into the building in New York last week, Seattle was one of the cities where the military scrambled jets. So the authorities must think that Seattle is still a target.

The CC is totally exposed to the south, the Space Needle is totally exposed from every direction, and the ferry system on Puget Sound would make a spectacular target for terrorists. All they'd need to do would be to drive a van on board, laden with explosives, blow it up half way to Bremerton, and there'd be an inferno on the vehicle deck with spectacular footage for the evening news.

"If it were to happen, I wonder how we would react - like Spain in 2003 or like the USA in 1941?"

Why should we wait for it to happen?

I just love that Americans are giving the finger to the terrorists and living their lives the best they can.

I have no doubt that the confidence we have now would be lost completely if the dems were in charge of our national security.

I just don't think chatting up the terrorists is a good plan!

Don't know about football stadiums, but the only way a truck could get that close to a baseball stadium would be masquerade as a TV remote van.

Hope they check the credentials of those.

Note the EDT game times:

New York Jets: 1pm
Miami: 1pm
Atlanta: 1pm
Seattle: 4:15pm
Houston: 1pm
Oakland: 4:15pm
Cleveland: 4:05pm

Why would they hit games that start 3 hours apart? AQ is known for simultaneous strikes.

"if the attacks are as bad as warned the country (I pray) will unite."

WHAT!?!!??

In the aftermath of the next attack you want to unite with the left? The people who facilitated the attack? The people who want to destroy our economy? The people whose behavior you've seen since 9-11?

Look, repubziilla, I don't know you and don't mean to flame you but that is a disgusting post.
