I had a private theory that terrorists could use wildfires to attack us, but I didn't want to post it for obvious reasons, especially because it fits with their pattern of taking advantage of situations to get the maximum benefit (using nature's fuel, rather than building their own bombs, or using an American-built plane as a missile). Is it really necessary to post these theories online where anyone could see them?

Yes, it is necessary to post these thoughts. The governments will never tell us the truth about terrorism. I think most people have learned that by now, or they will soon learn it whenever the next 'accident' happens to a plane. Since we can't rely on the government -- or the media -- to tell us the truth, we must try to get at the truth ourselves.
The only alternative is to take the suicidal attitude that 'Well, the government/media didn't say it was terrorism, so it must not be'. That attitude may prove to be suicidal.
The terrorists are very smart people. They do not need to read FreeRepublic to plan their actions. We are in a holy war. And that holy war will not be won if we are too scared to even talk about what may or may not be terrorism. I believe that by keeping silent about your terrorist concerns you are not helping the cause. I urge you to speak your mind and let the chips fall where they may.

In my book series,
The Dragon's Fury Series
... about World War III where the Red Chinese and the Islamic fundamental nations form an unholy allicance against the west, one of the scenarios described in detail is a super fire that is set along 150 mile line in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. From below Pagosa Springs west to near Cortez. They wait for the right atmospheric conditions and then several teams in cars just drive along pre-planned, remote roads, setting the fire that combines and rushes north through all of central Colorado.
In that book series, as we fight major wars on multiple fronts, we find one of the major fronts to be right here in the US as literally hundreds of terrorist cells and sleeper agents raise hell here on our shores to try and prevent our mobilization and terrorize the populace.
We need to discuss, disect and forment strategies to counter such activities before they start happening. The series also goes into detail about doing just that.
