Hey no big deal, after the attack the MSM will say all the evidence is "circumstantial" and the Bush administration can announce there are no plans to attack Iran. That should fix it. So some Americans die on our own soil, let's not do anything rash.
And don't forget, much of the media has insisted that we over-reacted last time, so maybe if NY is hit again, we should all just return to our teevee shows and put it out of our minds. (MSM, I suspect, would have a very different take on this if they were targets....)
