Wanna bet it'll happen in a community where firearm ownership is frowned upon?

I have actually been expecting this for some time.

An Al Qaeda strategy of urban terrorism would have greater long term benefits for them than the Spectacular. A corrosive urban terrorist campaign has already proven to have benefits against a civilian population in Israel. What the Al Qaeda have yet to understand is that people will arm themselves. There is a reason the Second Amendment exists. I suspect that our liberal friends are about to get a lesson in the futility of gun grabbing in an age of terror.

Getting reinforcements here is much more difficult than it is in the West Bank; it's just plain geography. So we actually have them at a disadvantage, here. We can take a leaf out of Chairman Mao's book and fight People's War.

There is no way the "guerilla" can survive in a hostile environment for long. According to Mao and others, he must be "like a fish in the sea".

I think we are about to find out just how many "illegal" firearms there are in New York and Washington.

L.A. hasn't been hit yet, however. Berkeley and Ithaca, NY? Please. From your lips to God's ears.

Be Seeing You,

Wouldn't it be interesting to listen to Richard Gere if the terrorists targeted say, Hollywood? But I am afraid that even if the terorists did hit places like Berkely and Massachusetts, the remaining liberals would find a way to blame it on us right-wingers. It would be "our" fault, somehow. We antagonized the terrorists somehow, or made them envious, put crosses on our churches, or some such nonsense. parsy.

It is unimagineable to me that we have permitted Al Qaeda cadre to remain here, and more to arrive, after 9/11.

I think a successful coordinated attack of this nature will be very, very bad for GWB and his team.

I am no GWB lover, but allowing the RATs to gain even more power than they have now would make matters much worse.

Maybe that's the plan.

I like your analysis...in addition to people arming themselves for basic self defense I believe a certain percentage of society will begin actively hunting the bad guys. It may get messy with blue on blue situations but you can bet the bad guys will receive more than they deliver.

I feel confident that more than a few citizens have a musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, sixty rounds powder and ball, and be ready to march at a minute's warning.

There is no way the "guerilla" can survive in a hostile environment for long. According to Mao and others, he must be "like a fish in the sea".

Also, if this does start, it will end with the complete extermination of them all, and there will be no replacements coming in after them. After such an attack, the public would absolutely DEMAND the total banning of all male Arabs in that age range from being allowed in the US.

In short, they might be able to do this, but they'll only be able to do it once.
