Do you think that the Bush administration and our government have prepared for a terrorist nuclear weapon going off in NYC or DC? Have they done scenarios on what our response would be?

Are these the only cities that you can think of which may be the objects of the next terrorist attack?

There are other civilised cities on this planet. Ever heard of Paris, London, Rome, San Francisco, Chicago, San Diego, Amsterdam, Berlin, Helsinki, Detroit...?

"Are these the only cities that you can think of which may be the objects of the next terrorist attack?"

No, of course not, but I just think we are number 1 (with a bullet) on the Islamic target list. Not that I wish some of the other cities were on the target lists, but quite frankly, I don't think the Muslims hate the French or Italians, Dutch or Norwegians as much they hate us.

It would almost be better for the "alliance" if the Muslims did blow up the Eiffel Tower or the Vatican, then the rest of the world would understand the danger of terrorism and wouldn't be so damn anti-American and smug, disdainful and un-cooperative.
