What's scary is we have no idea just how much of that stuff is already in "terrorist" hands, considering the sloppyness of the Ruskies handling of it in all the former soviet bloc "Stans", many of which have large muslim populations.

People just aren't going to wake up and take Jihad seriously until a "24" effects them directly. The trouble is, it will be too late then.
Guess who our national guard and police will be shooting? It won't be the Muslims in our midst. It will be the angry citizens looking for them.

Ya beat me the poverty point. There should be a sitcom where this guy volunteers to be a terrorist but ends selling the cell phones and using the air flight tickets go gambling in Vegas. He always has to explain to his terrorist boss how he almost succeeded but with just some more cash, and that blond assistant with the big breasts, he'll get the job done. It could be like Benny Hill or On the Buses if you're into or know older Brit TV.

"Tit for Tat".

Jimmuh Carter basically seeded the 1979 Islamic Revolution in order to destabilize those Soviet "Stans".

The Soviet invasion and defeat in Afghanistan, and the subsequent implosion of the Soviet economy were a direct result.

As was 9/11 and our current situation in Iraq.

I suspect there are more than a few members of the inner party who are smirking at our predicament.

We used Islam as a weapon and now the shoe is on the other foot.

Your absolutely correct.

I have not seen 24, but I can certainly imagine similar scenario's.

For instance, hurricane Rita was in the Gulf of Mexico, it was heading right for us here in Houston.

Officials call for an evacuation. What transpired over the next few days was horrific.

I-45, I-10, Hwy 59 and other major routes out of Houston were completely log jammed for a couple of days.

The scene looked like a science fiction movie. People spent the night ON the hwy, in their cars. They ran out of gas, food, drink.

After the mess cleared, there were automobiles strewn all over the place...the ones that broke down or ran out of gas, that is.

There was NO gas to be had. All local businesses along the highways were closed. Absolutely mobbed of everything. People walking off the hwy, leaving their cars to find food and gas. It was a maddening event. Trash scattered everywhere, and I don't mean a little, I mean massive amounts of trash everywhere.

Now, the hurricane never hit Houston! My point being, if there were to be a dirty bomb, nuke, chemical or bio weapon detonated within a large urban area, if there were massive casualties, People will panic in every city in America and will try to get out of the city centers....thus causing similar situations.

Desperation and violence will break out, then the ol ball gets to rollin.
