What if the US retaliation only attacks an empty hulk? If the terrorists have moved out from their home country they can do these damned guerilla attacks for a long time.

Reports are that people were actually jumping out of the top windows of the World Trade Centers before they collapsed and while they collapsed

What if they ar not from one country? This is the kind of thing that could be planeed by a small group of diverse nuts who have nothing specific we can attack
how do you fight an enemy you cant see

This is someone who has a beef against the CD Accords, and thus against Israel. Could this all simply be cover for some kind of assault against THEM?
I'm just being paranoid.
The three obvious suspects are Iraq, Iran, and Bin Laden. But then, it could just be someone trying to cover up who they really are by making it look like it was a Middle-Eastern terrorist act. Anything's possible.

Well, Bin Laden (IIRC), said there was going to be a massive attack against the US because of this country's support for Israel. Whether or not there'll be an attack on Israel I don't know ...

Wow, I picked a fine day (yesterday) to sign my life away to the Air Force.
I REALLY REALLY envy the seniors in ROTC right now. They get to play a part in the revenge.
Also, Kennedy Space Center has been shut down (quite close to me) and the VAB and shuttle hangers were reportdely targets.
Also, all planes that were in the air were ordered to land at the nearest smallest airport they could get to. Daytona Beach Intl. being one of them. DBI is fucking dead right now, and three planes have landed this morning, from diversions. Only other activity was a landing police helicopter and a Coast Guard plane that was moved out onto the tarmac and which I cant see anymore, so it prolly went up somewhere, like NYC.

Unfortunetely I got four years, and I sincerely hope this doesn't last four years. My friend however is in the Air National Guard and finished basic this summer. He got called up to active today and he'll prolly be heading off to who knows where.

Do we really think that traditional military action will be able to stop such an untraditional style of terror? We will probably end up killing as many innocent civilians as they did, if not more, if we invade a country as retaliation for the acts of a force not supported by that countries government
