yes. but what scares me more is how our government will respond. The hysteria of 9/11 created even more problems.
Again, "speak softly and cary a big stick.: Don't declare war on something you can't reach out and wack.

What worries me is the inability of the government and the 'intelligence' agencies to even locate those who already attacked us! How can they not find bin Laden? Isn't he about seven feet tall? And don't we have satellites that can see a fly on a horses ass from the sky?

The thought that there were warnings, and those warnings were ignored scares me more than the possibility that some terrorists will attack us again.

In fact, our government scares me more than potential terrorists.

Jack,

There is always concern, since no one wants to see innocents maimed and killed. But as we have learned so many times in the past, if someone is willing to give their life to kill others, it is almost impossible to stop.

I haven't been worried about an attack but now I believe we are already being attacked by an unseen force. It seems like there is a plan to destroy our economy, the dollar, our American way of life and more, right under our noses. Why people can't see it and why our government is doing little or nothing about it is scary.

We need to go to Orange alert now. I know it is tough for people who fly, but send a signal to Al Quida we are ready and they won't get away with it. Get our military in a defensive position with more military planes in the air, ships strategically positioned, tighter security at our borders, and the CIA and FBI on overtime alert and monitoring. We need to do that NOW, not the month after.

Not concerned at all. It's out of my hands and I have more important things to think about.

not at all. if someone was going to commit a terrorist attack there probably isnt much we can do about it. its like the war on drugs, a fantasy . if someone wants to strap themselves with bombs and walk into a crowd and blow themselves up, how do you stop that? you cant.

There will always be a threat of attack as long as radical terrorists exist. They don't hate America because they are mad at Bush. They hate us because we are a free country! As soon as Obama has to make a difficult decision, the terrorists will be "pissed" at him just like many claim they are "pissed" at Bush.

While I am concerned about a terrosist attack I don't let myself be overcome with fear like after 9/11. I feel it's like those people living under a dorment volcano or near the fault in California. You know at some point that it's going to happen; it's just a matter of when.
