He is half right. Yes, a dedicated enemy could disrupt our vulnerable infrastructure. However, the erronous assumption is that a major disruption of the infrastructure would result in a total collapse of our society. The error here is the ommission of a variable termed "yankee ingenuity." We Americans have a historical tendency to invent creative solutions to any problem. The odds are, within 90 days after they try to do their worst, we will be back, stronger than before, and make a profit doing it.

Your exactly right, a 50/50 chance of bringing this country to its knees (gimme a break) Russia is the only power that could bring this country to its knees, and the only way it could do it is by launching all its nukes at us.

A dedicated enemy himself needs an infrastructure and he needs us willing to remain vulnerable for fear of political correctness. The terrorist infrastructure: An anonymous arab street in the US, little Palentines where terrorists can travel and meet without scrutiny. A lax immigration and documents system. A system of 'mosques' providing a transmission belt from the middle east to the US, being protected from investigation because they are 'religious.'
