"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"

Actually the comment about New York fearing bombardment around 1897 is quite perceptive and correct. There was a panic on the East Coast of the US when the Spanish American War broke out, over fear that the supposedly fast Spanish squadron then on its way from Spain whose position and destination were unkown, would attack the main harbours in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Newport News, Savannah and Charelston.
