Personally, I think the Ft. Hood Massacre is more significant than 911.

Absolutely correct. 9/11 was a billion-to-one shot that paid off big for the islamic terrorists. But a repeat is highly unlikely.

After getting tired of six months of heightened vigilance (but not increased armament), US military bases will go back to "business as usual", and be easy pickings for the next islamic nutcase the feds sort-of watched, but didn't want to hurt any feelings.

Meanwhile, civilian gathering places that practice forced disarmament, like malls, remain easy targets, even today. I'm safest doing my socializing at gun shows. They have plenty of armed BATFE agents watching everyone already. And if the feds won't respond, the customers can equip themselves in seconds.

True, and there's more behind why I think the Ft. Hood Massacre is more significant than 911: American military personnel, no matter what branch of the service, who have Muslims serving next to them in their units or on their ships or subs or aircraft or battlefields, are being asked to put their faith in people they have reason to view with suspicion, and to put their lives at unjustified risk 24/7, even on supposedly safe "home" ground, solely because political correctness gets precedence. This will HAVE to create horrible morale in the ranks and do more damage to our military's fighting power than five 911s could ever do.
