First it was fear of a 9/11 repeat in Sept, then the fear of a Thanksgiving attack, of course we moved right on to the fear of the Xmas attack...closely followed by the fear of the New Years attack...whats next? A fear of a Washingtons birthday attack?

If there is going to be another attack, in a likelihood its going to happen on a completely mundane, ordinary day just like 9/11 used to be. The govt not doing us any favours with all these stupid warnings.

The purpose of public warnings are as much to the terrorists, as the general public: letting them know that we are even more vigilant, which by itself has a certain measure of deterrence.

And there have been attacks tried, we just foiled them.

A price is paid every time an alert happens - extra police, extra surveillance, more security

When the cold war was on, both sides paid for global insanity. They maintained missiles, we maintained missiles. They had subs, we had subs.

Now, with the Islamafacist, only we pay the price. We have alerts, they do nothing. Are Muslim countries going to Code Red or Orange or Yellow? No. Time for a change. We get hit, we hit back. They kill 3,000, we kill 30,000. Who do we hit? Any Muslim country that is not cooperating with us. Any Muslim country that harbors terrorist ( or any country called France).

Terrorist want to bankrupt this country. Let's level the playing field. Same rules. We go to orange, they go to orange. Both sides play, both sides pay.

The govt not doing us any favours with all these stupid warnings.
