So did I my FRiend, I also remember the air raid siren tests on the last Friday of every month at 10:00 AM
The difference then is we were facing an enemy who wanted to win, to live and had much to lose. Iran want to martyr its self to bring about the 12th Imam, or Mahdi.
Yes, the odds of dying in a terror attack for you and me are pretty high, but what American City and how many American lives are you willing to risk too test your theory? What about an EMP attack launched from a ship off the Atlantic?
What we are facing with Iran and islam in general is in no way comparable to the cold war, two totally different enemies.
What we should be doing and missed a tremendous opportunity to do so was/is aid the Iranian (Persian) people in toppling their mad mullah regime, otherwise all out, maybe nuclear war will be a certainty.
Or do we wait until we have no choice, we are weak and our enemies know our every vulnerability? I choose the former.
If Iran gets a nuke, that is exactly where we'll be, we will have no choices.
