A congressional expert on terrorism said there are thousands of well-trained Mideastern terrorists in the United States who are capable of "spectacular" acts of violence.

Two terrorism experts said they have never seen such estimates from an official government source; others declined to comment.

It isn't even just terrorists. When you look at the Muslim conquest of Spain, it was done in a similar way as this one of the US. They infiltrated Spain and it took the Spaniards 700 years to complete the reconquista. They finally had to learn what it took to do that.

You think being attacked on our own soil isn't something to worry about?

I think I see your problem -- neither of you even know how to read. Who the hell said there isn't a problem or nothing to worry about???

There's a difference between taking reasonable and necessary steps (like taking the war to the home of your enemy, and taking reasonable steps at home to increase security that are likely to be targets), and flying off half-cocked yelling that the enemy has us by the throat. What bozos you guys are. I suspect you spent the entire Cold War hunkered down in your bunkers, and perhaps you have just now emerged from the Y2K disasters, huh?

Maybe it's just that you're not happy unless everyone else is hunkered down in bunkers as paranoid as YOU are.

Fortunately, neither of you are in any kind of position of responsibility, for if you were the whole damn country would stop dead in it's tracks. And then the terrorists really would be happy.

How about we take al-Sharpton, Jessseee (who my daddy?) Jackson, and Loonie Louie as hostages? If the terrorists attack again, we shoot them.

War is hell. But who said good couldn't come out of it?
