I'll try to take this post seriously and not complain about patriotism.

First of all I'm shocked 44% of americans support a national holiday. Either they are lazy or shortsighted. What happens when the next terrorists attacks happens that is 5 times worse than Sept 11? Do we make another holiday? Eventually we will run out of days.

Yes I do expect the terrorists attacks to continue. I expect Sept 11 scale attacks every 5 years. With smaller USS cole style attacks every 2 years or so.

I just got done looking at some pictures from the day. It's enough to bring you down. I still remember the news casts. I remember being shocked that they didn't censor the bad words from the amateur video shot by people on the street. It was taped earlier and they kept replaying it. It seems silly, but even in such an event I expected CNN and Fox to follow FCC guidlines.

There's going to be a disappointing number of TV shows relating to it. C4 (in Britain) is already running a "1 year on" themed week. Its insulting to imagine we won't remember and mourn without being bombarded with a million media images.

Rememberance Day will get confusing, especially since 11-11 is Remembrance Day here in Canada 9its November 11, isn't it?) Nah, my bet is on "9-11 Anniversary" or some varient thereof.

Suffering from ads?

For most Americans it will be another day. For those of us that work at schools and are not teachers, will be told not to say anything, only teacher are aloud to say anything.
However for some 3000 family, 1 year ago today 3 Sept. there was another person in their lives. Eight days from now that will be change forever.
On the plane that hit the ground in Pa. There was a little girl with mom and dad going to Disneyland for the first time, DAMM.

I'm not expecting any strikes by terrorist that day. If I was a terrorist, I'd strike right after.. After hightened security is gone, taking a breath and everybody congratulating that it went ok. Or day before.. but not that day. But honestly, I don't think there's gonna be any problems, at least I hope so. So be safe murricans, but Dubya could eat another pretzel .

Al Qa'ida is regrouping right now.
I think it was on the news few days ago that OBL is in charge again. They'll start to plan new attacks right now.

I think within 12 months another big attack will happen.
I doubt it will be on the same scale, since I think the terrorists never expected that both towers would collapse (there was some luck)

they can't do the 'plane' thing anymore.
Thus it must be something new, which will always be on a small scale compared to 9/11.

Pherhaps in a few years they will succeed in bio or chemical suicide bombing, the palestinian way.

nothing on 9/11 though.
Pherhaps something small that will result in a lot of panic.
