As far as any known candidate for president is concerned, I believe that Rudy is the ONLY one capable of uniting America and making the case for fighting and winning the WOT, to the bitter end. I do not believe that he would try to micromanage the WOT and having very up close and personal knowledge of what an actual attack is like, he has far more insight into what is need, when/if another one occurs here; not to mention what targeted places need NOW, before another attack happens.
If a Dem is elected president, then yes, I do think that the possibility of many Americans dying on American soil is far more likely, than if Rudy is president.
