A lot of people (liberals?) wouldn’t care if it happened to a small town, they feel like small towns are a different planet. lol. flyover country.
I get your point though. Maybe hitting the suburbs would do it.
Seems too small potatos (though equally tragic) for AQ...AQ will try to exceed or make a much more spectacular than this...We’ll see..this will depend only if there are several more explosions at other locations...
If it was me, and I really, really wanted to make people feel unsafe, I'd go after malls, community centers, schools, chirches, hospitals, etc etc etc.
Places people are familiar with, places where they generally feel safe. The fact that terrorists haven't done this speaks volumes for their incompetence, lack of understanding our culture, and general incapability.
Not that I'm complaining one bit, mind you. I figure that the number of real Islamic terrorists (not the big talkers, but those who would gladly perform an act) has got to be pretty low. And, with our forces disposing of them in large numbers in Iraq and Afghanistan....they've got to be getting pretty deep into their bench.
/rant off. IMHO, an attack on the DoT screams "PO'd DoT worker. Or maybe some schmoe who lost their license. Not "Muslim Terrorist". But I could be wrong.
