Reply #49: The question isn't what happened on 9/11, it's will it happen again an how

It's possible yes, likely no. For another 9/11 against any one of our "soft" spots it would require a great many things to go wrong. Whether or not you believe 9/11 was perpetrated by Bushco or not, we would have to have a severe failure of our homeland defense system. This failure could have been blamed on lack of attention before but not now. If Bushco did it, they won't do it again until a Dem is in the White House which looks like a very long time from now. For the terrorists to be able to pull off a major attack, our intelligence would have to completely fail as well as the layers of security we have in place. I see a very low probability of this happening. It is possible but niether scenario seems very likely. I do predict more terrorism in America, I just believe it will be smaller in scale and the spectre of 9/11 will force the changes they wish to make.

Imagine a bomb going off in a mall. Imagine a suicide bomber in a school. Imagine a sniper picking off people at gas stations. These would serve the purpose of either group with little to no effort. That's what I was trying to explain.
