it's not what they "want to" do, it's what they are "capable" of doing

I'm not sure what this has to do with anything i said.

it's not shortsighted, it's realistic

Sure, it's one realistic senario of many possibilities. Emphasis on many.

fear will make you see monsters where there are only shadows

WOW, thanks for pointing that out Andy. Second time you've brought that one up. I better take it under advisement. :shakehead

please provide me a realistic scenario where the US is ruled by a Muslim government.

Again, i'm not sure what this has to do with any of my comments. I was thinking more in terms of reaking havoc with our way of life. Not that hard or costly to do. 9-11 would pale in comparison to some of the possibilities. These possibilities are hardly "shadows".

IMO, people who believe otherwise have their head in the sand big time!

you said the terrorists would not be content with stopping at the scenarios i depicted.

i responded it's not a matter of what they want to do (I am sure they'd love to wipe out the US from the face of the Earth) but of what they can actually do.

based on what they can actually do, the scenarios i listed are the biggest threats to the US for the foreseable future.

Sure, it's one realistic senario of many possibilities. Emphasis on many.

it's actually three scenarios. they represent "the worst" the terrorists can throw at us in a globals scale. you need to keep my response in context or you won't understand what i am talking about.

note that dirty bombs or nuclear bombs used against US cities are not listed. there's a very good reason for that.

thanks for pointing that out Andy. Second time you've brought that one up. I better take it under advisement. :shakehead

that is my point. anyone who says we are in danger of being overun by a Muslim state is speaking strictly out of fear.

that's not what Rick was talking about nor what I was responding to.

if you want to jump in on an on-going conversation, you could read the posts leading up to it
