September 11th is soon approaching. Do you think we could have another "event" in the United States?
It seems September 11th has always been the day things have been targeted by terrorist groups.

1. other...
   
there is always a threat from out there... but we over reacted and truly cannot defeat a TACTIC... which is what terrorism is.

But yes, it is always possible. Regardless the response has been such that Al Qaida did more damage than their wildest dreams.

Is anti-terrorism expert on her resume yet?

2. The economy & prospects of Rethugs back in WH scares me more
   
than the prospects of any terrorism.

Safer? It is all relative, so who knows... I don't believe that we --in the past ten years-- have done much more than send billions of dollars into the pockets of speculators and contractors, with little real justification/research going in to how they are spent.

8. Other.
   
I'm sick of the U.S. obsession with 9/11. It gave the bogus Bush administration legitimacy. It created the opening that led to the current economic and social disasters.

It was terrible. It wasn't the only terrible thing that people have done to other people, and certainly not anywhere near the worst. More than double the number of American soldiers have died in Iraq and Afghanistan than died that day, and our casualties are small compared to the civilian deaths in the ****ing "war on terror" and the numbers of those we've killed. Add our allies' deaths to that, and we've used 9/11 to cause destruction and death on a much larger scale than 9/11 did.

I'm not afraid. Not before, not during, not since, not now. I have spent not a single moment of my life afraid of terrorists, or worked up in determination to enact revenge, to establish what a bully the U.S. is, or in any other dramatic response.

On the other hand, I'm deeply worried about the damage we've done to the nation allowing election fraud, and allowing neo-liberals to control the Democratic Party. I think it's deeper and longer lasting than 9/11.

If I want to contemplate possible terrorist actions and targets, all I have to do is look at the domestic terrorists attacking civil rights, attacking labor, attacking education, attacking social and economic justice...

THOSE are the most dangerous terrorists out there.
   

There you have it, Tea Party folks are lower than Terrorists that killed 3000+ on 9/11.

Another 9/11 event is unlikely.  What I worry about is not another 9/11, that was a highly complex, high risk/high yield operation.  If Al Quaeda and the Muslim brotherhood so chose, there are actions that would be more effective.  I am surprised that we have not seen the actions I am thinking of yet.  Either our anti-terrorism efforts are very successful or the terrorist organizations don't understand us as much as they claim.

There are some much smaller acts that could cripple the country and would require very little sophistication to carry out.

You mean like the London Tube bombings on the 7 July, the Madrid train bombing on 11 March?

Didn't the Obamessiah pretty much wish for a "lone gunman" attack a couple of weeks ago, by raising the possibility?

I can think of several one man actions/operations that could kill thousands. When they happen, and they will come sooner or later from the Muslims, will we have the stomach to do what has to be done to stop further threats?

Is there a private area where "we" can discuss possible terrorist attack scenerios?
