A murderous attack... like 9-11?
I'm afraid it could be much, much worse. Maybe not in lives, but in imagery. If they took out the White House, the Capital Building or the Statue of Liberty, I think the liberals would change their tune in a quick hurry. Any of those attacks would be preferable to a dirty bomb in NY or LA that could kill tens of thousands.
I cannot see the liberal leopard changing its spots until something like that happens. I wish I could believe otherwise - but reality is reality.
