It goes without saying that there will eventually be other attacks. They will be few and far between, but like the WTC attack, will go for maximum psychological effect. Your Golden Gate Bridge idea is typical of this type of attack.

Despite the horror of these attacks, and the loss of life, we have to keep it in some kind of perspective.

During the nine months of the <a href=

We can't let this kind of threat wreck our country.

BTW, I wish them luck working with finely ground plutonium, which is not only dangerous, but pyrophoric as well. They are going to lose a lot of terrorists this way.

And if they do manage to cobble together a nuke, and take out a downtown somewhere, well, we'll see who runs out of warheads first.
