Had they succeeded and killed our Pres, Vice Pres, leaders of Congress, our military chain of command and our financial centers, the USA would've completely collapsed.

Sir, I have to disagree with you on two points here.

1)The military chain of command is just that. There would have been other ranking officers to fill the ranks. Fortunately, the Commander in Chief and Vice President were not harmed. Big shoes to fill there.

2)The USA would not have completely collapsed. The true fighting spirit of real Americans would have kept us on top. While it would have been a heavy demoralizing blow, we would still prevail.

Thanks for a great site.

You are probably correct. But I can also see that if the President, VP, Speaker, et al, were all wiped out, and the upper-echelons of the military chain of command were disrupted, and our financial markets destroyed (and I have no doubt that all world markets would also collapse if this happened) and our airline industry was shut down, and all of this sudden death and destruction occurred in the matter of hours, I guarantee you that panic would reign supreme and that martial law would be declared and that there would be a total lock down of all civil rights in this country and... then all other industries would soon fail and.... then unemployment... depression... shortages.... etc, etc.
