for everyone that thinks "oh we haven't been attacked so we must be doing good." fyi just because we haven't been attacked doesn't mean we won't be again, and it certainly doesn't mean iraq is the reason why we aren't being attacked....you can't seriously tell me that fighting a conventional war in iraq is more effective at fighting terrorism, than fighting a unconventional, special forces based, war in various countries. The former head of the CIA's Bin Laden Unit, since resigned, said on 60 minutes that its silly to think sinec we havent been attacked thats proof we can't be. Richard Clarke wrote an article in the Atlantic Monthly saying the same thing. He even outlined a few different scenarios for how we could be attacked to demonstrate how easy it would be. Others have concurred with this opinion, and it doesn't take a whole lot of brain power to realize, if a terrorist wanted, they could suicide bomb NYC or any major city with ease and cause the desired result.
according to richard clarke, and michael schuer (the former head of the CIA's bin laden unit), the chances are fairly high.... you can't stop a suicider......now while you may wish to believe your opinion is always facturally correct, the reality is, you opinion is meaningless incomparison to the opinions of experienced professionals.its not that hard tho really to think.. if you had to rank the difficulty oin a scale from 1- 10 for the following examples where would they be:1. suicide bombing a crowded area in any major city2. buying an assault rifle and shooting up a crowd in any major city3. simultaneously suicide bombing a few major cities at once.4. simultaneously shooting up a few major cities at once. the first two are amazingly easy, and would achieve their desired effect.
