Does the New Terror Report Scare You?

I and I think a lot of America has grown numb to these things.It's getting hard to decipher what is real and what is social manipulation and engineering. What better way to get a society to allow a government more power than to scare it under the guise of security. W ehave not seen a single attack on this soil since 9/11 and like him or not, you have Bush to thank. However, I think we already have enough protections in place and indeed probably overkill where that is concerned, we don't need more. In fact we probably don't need half of the freedom encroaching things we have now. There are people out there who want to kill us, for what ever reason it may be, that fact remains. But now we need to be equaly aware of the things that can happen with in our own borders and with in our own government. While I don't believe in conspiricy theories, the new world order or any of that nonsense, I do believe in the fallibilty of man and government, the greed and power of some people and the decpicable acts they would commit to atain that power, including scaring a population, ie; "the economy is going to colaps! we need this T.A.R.P. bill!" or "were going to be attacked! We need this homegorwn terrorist act!" And as a last but important note, look up "project northwoods" 1962

Yes it scares me even more than being attacked by military warfare as we have some form of defense in place for this possibility. Biological warfare is an other story all together as it is such an insidious danger. Not knowing when, where or what form it will take. Untold numbers of people dying before medical science can find a cure.

It just shows how lax the present administration has been about inspection of incoming cargo ships, after all Bush had his hands full trying to run "his" war in Iraq, he didn't have time to concentrate on other important matters. Maybe this report will do some good by putting us more on guard. I remember during the "cold war" how the threat from the Soviet Union shook things up. One of my sons, who was in high school was sure the Soviets were going to drop the atomic or hydrogen bomb on the U.S., I guess they had discussed this in class. I believe there will be a lot more co-operation with the UN and other countries to clear out terrorism after Obama takes office. He hasn't allienated the leaders of the Middle East and will probably make sure that actions are put in place to make friends with those leaders. I remember when I was stationed in Saudi Arabia, we flew into several of those countries and they were always friendly to us. It's time to stop being a "bully" and start using a little diplomacy.

It doesn't really scare me. I can't control what will happen and when it is my time to die, that's life. I think maybe if I grew up in the era of the "Cold War" than maybe I would think differently.

I agree it is a good probability. And it does scare me. Russia and other countries are selling nuclear reactors like candy and small unstable countries that get a hold of them could very easily let them fall into the wrong hands or sell them to terrorist for the huge profits involved. Lets face it.... Al Quida does not have money problems. Someone does need to keep an eye on it. What we can do to stop it....I do not know. I think the best we can hope for is to put political preasure on other countries who they sell this stuff to and then beef up our own security to make it more difficult for them to get it into this country. But with some countries like Iran out there it that hate us and would love to see us get a another terrorist attack it will be hard.

2013?!? That's 5 long years from now! Okay, 4 long years in about another month, but do you know how many Americans are going to die from heart desease and colon cancer before then? Rather tna worrying about some nuclear or biological attack that's is "likely" to happen "somewhere in the world", worry about something you can DO something about....such as bettering your health, or at least the health of your children. Happy MyLotting!

It does, I think it brings back the reality that we pass off when we hear nothing about it.

All the terrorist reports scare me. But since I can't see the threat going away, it's become something I've learned to live with on a daily basis. Every time I visit center city Philadelphia around the historical district in Society Hill and Olde City, I think what a target the birthplace of America would make. I hate that that thought always occurs to me because I think there could be an element of fulfilling prophecy in there but I can't seem to avoid thinking it. I noticed that when Obama met with the governors at Carpenter's Hall there was very little pre meeting publicity. I know that the meeting was organized quickly but I wonder if it wasn't deliberately kept low key.

yes it scared me.terroe attack in mumbai is so sad.and they are going to do another attack.definitely we have to eliminate terrorism.we havo to kill terrorism.

personally no. i am so sick of these friggin terror alert things. if you watch the news you can see a pattern of fear and happiness. terrorists are going to do this and that and then hey go buy this nice life insurance policy, global warming this and that, and then hey go buy this hybrid. it's all about fear and happiness. check out farenheit 9-11 by michael moore, it'll explain everything.
