We would face the wrath of retaliatory attacks everywhere by suicide bombers etc. - in our malls, IEDs on our freeways, our school children targetted, idnapped and killed without mercy, our electricity power grid made inoperable as pylons are brought down (so easy to do and there have already been a number of practise runs).

Don't post much anymore, to busy, but have one comment to add.

Homeland Sec. had issued a large number of food and drug safety regs in the last few years. To the point where small plants like the ethanol plant I used to work for are putting in a lot of security, and larger operations like the plant I now work for have to put in a lot more. We are very open to a massive disruption of our food and pharma supplies, and it would only take a few incidents at a few key points.

We are way to centralized in our distribution networks to be safe. A few guys with rifles and some explosives could shut down food, power, and water to must major cities very quickly.
