skorea has elections coming up later this year. as does america. and yet, i don't expect terrorist attacks at all. this is not to say we shouldn't be prepared, but to be in a sort of panic state about it, as you seem to be, ned, is rather silly. OMFG OMFG OMFG THERE WAS A BOMBING IN SPAIN RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTIONS SO WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE ONE TOO!!!!!!!
calm down. put your trust in our boys. we're not going to have an attack, because as odd as some suggestions might have been (duct tape and plastic sheets), or as blatantly useless as others are (huge machines in the airports), i think our defense will do just fine.
or do you not have faith in bush your Dear Leader?
now, one note. i don't see an attack in either of the east asian nations simply because they have absolutely tiny muslim populations, both are rather high-tech, and one has been in a seige mentality for years with experience in terrorism, while the other has had its share of terrorist attacks. |
The Asian nations will receive a pass because they are not Christian.
As to an al Qaeda attack on the US, I hope that Bush stops it. But I am sure al Qaeda will try.

So fire Bush, but don't repeal the Act.
Kerry is calling for its repeal, by God. Every American has to be concerned about that. |
From Kerry's website
"KEEP PROVISIONS THAT HELP THE WAR ON TERRORISM. The Patriot Act gave law enforcement some important new tools after 9/11, including: increasing penalties for terrorism, adding new federal crimes on terrorism, limiting statue of limitations for investigating terrorist crime, and permits prosecution of Federal crimes committed overseas. John Kerry believes we must keep these types of provisions. "
this after pointing out some provisions that he WOULD repeal. (like secret monitoring of attorney client conversations, and detaining US CITIZENS as unlawful combatants)
Interestingly, the list of what he would repeal, combined with what he would keep still leaves out many provisions of the Patriot Act (for example wrt to wiretaps,etc) So theres quite a lot of it that he has not yet commited himself on.

No doubt it is.
Spain has surrendered to terrorism. Just like when people offer to pay the Mafia for protection. They will forget us during some time. Probably the next objective is USA. Now that they know that they have the power to change governments they will try to prevent Mr. Bush´s reelection.
Terrorists have achieved everything they wanted.
- They kill people they hate.
- They terorize the other people who are alive.
- They change a government who would pursue them, effectively gaining more freedom of action.
- And they demosntrate that terror works
Spain people have what they deserve. I´m just sorry for the 9,5 million of Spanish who don´t deserve it.
