Here's a horrible thought, but we must think about it. What a time this would be for terrorists to strike. I believe there are large numbers of them here, and I think the may be prepared to hit.

Exactly what my husband also said on Monday, Doug... :-(

Doug, that's been in the back of my mind since Katrina struck.

Glad yiou brought my worst nightmares to fruition/ sarcasm

Unfortunately I had the same thought. Hopefully with their focus on Iraq they won't be prepared to compound the tragedy.

I had that same thought, Doug. :O(

Actually, I think this would be the *worst* time for them to hit (from their perspective). Media coverage of their strike would be "competing" for airtime against the Katrina disaster. Furthermore, unless their strike was *massively* huge -- greater than even 9/11 -- it would look like small-potatoes compared to the scope of the Katrina damage (in both lives lost and property destroyed).

Why would the terrorists want to strike at a time which would *lessen* the impact of their attack, and possibly even make it look paltry in comparison? Would the terrorists really want the American public to conclude, "oh well, terrorism sucks, but natural disasters are a bigger threat..."?

Not to sound too macabre, but I hope that THEY are among the dead.
