Will there be another terrorist attack in the US? (Time out:0 days after 22-12-2003, 21:49)
Yes! It will be more deadly than 9-11!
Yes! But it won't be as bad as 9-11.
No. Our government will stop it and protect us!
No. Either the terrorists are jerking us around, or our government is...
a super banana bomb will annihilate us all!

Nope... unless they somehow kidnap Santa

The government just reacts to the info they receive, and as far as we know the gov. has been wrong a time or two

The gov did a good job at creating this color rating system. Now, IMO, the would be "terror" or fear of attacks is down played because we just see it as a traffic light.

They will of course keep trying. It won't be easy though in the states since any medium sized gathering of mid easterners immediately draws attention. Don't underestimate people's power.

I don't doubt that there will be other attacks, not on the scale of 9-11, though. It's simply too difficult to truly secure such a large geogrphical area.

If the government cannot make the secret police and the abolition of civilian rights legitimate through logic then they will resort to fear.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, "What will I be?
Will I be pretty, will I be rich?"
Here's what she said to me

Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera Sera

Since I am just a boy in school
I asked my teacher, "What should I try?
Should I paint pictures, should I sing songs?"
This was her wise reply

Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera Sera


When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart, "What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows day after day?"
Here's what my sweetheart said

Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera Sera

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, "What will I be?
Will I be pretty, will I be rich?"
I tell them, "Wait and see"

Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera Sera

Besides, wasn't rumour about a deal between Arafat and the US in order for the palestinian terrorist organizatios not to attack american targets in exchange for "leniency" by the US a long time ago?

It wouldn't be surprising that such a deal has been struck between Al Qaeda and the US too. But then Al Qaeda maybe doesn't control all its "subsidiaries".

I think there will be some dirty bombs exploded, and yes it will be worse than 9-11 economically for the West.

eventually there will be an attack worse than 9/11. It is inevitable. The terrorists will never relent. In the end, they will win. But that may take a few hundred years. We may not have an attack as bad as 9/11 in 10 or even 50 years. But eventually it will happen.

Do I expect an attack worse than 9/11 in the next week or two? No.

All I know is that when Howard Dean gets into office and releases the Guantánamo detainees, repeals the Patriot Act, and turns Iraq over to the UN, America will be infinitely safer.

he wouldn't do that until the end of his second term like Clinton.

You have to face it, eventually they will be released. Hillary Clinton will be elected in 2008. At the end of her second term in 2016/2017 she will release the prisoners. But that's not too bad. 15 years in prison for being a terrorist is a good punishment.

absolutely, if only because of population growth + increasingly lethal methods of killing. You didn't put a time frame into the question though.
