Achille Lauro: Loud mouthed tourist thinks because he sits in a wheel chair that terrorists won't hurt him. Said tourist is jew and apparently jew trumps wheelchair so said tourist finds out wheel chairs are not flotation devices. Balance: one dead due to drowning. Next biggest attack of same terrorist group is speed boat attack on Israeli beach. Balance: zero dead.

Yeah, of course, there were Jews on board so that justifies the armed takeover of a cruise ship and the tourists on board are not allowed to be pissed at the cowards that are holding them at gun point, especially if they are Jewish. Of course people killed by terrorists deserve what they get anyway,,,, oh excuse me,,, JEWS killed by Islamic terrorists deserve what they get.
I'd explain my sentiments towards you right now but I'd get suspended.
Actually yes. Some steps I deem excessive and unwarranted.
Great so you then know one reason why complex terrorist attacks have not again taken place in the Continental USA.
me
Do you presume as well that those radicals have now abandoned forever any thought of attempting more complex and detailed attacks?
I presume such complex and detailed attack as 911 shouldn't have happened in the first place and is a fluke. Nor can it ever happen again as already on 911 itself passengers supposedly were rising up.
You presume that the next attack will use a public conveyance as the weapon? How stupid do you presume these people top be? How stupid are you trying to make me believe you are?
There may never be another large scale attack by Islamic groups within the USA. However, unlike you, I would not put bank on it.
Sure. After all, I wonder what the score card would be in the following : joker entering US cinema - all muslim terrorist attacks since 911 on US soil combined?
Well then you'd be happy to know that the FBI does indeed monitor all groups internal to the USA which have expressed sentiments that would indicate they are willing to carry out attacks on Federal building, bank robberies, etc.
In the case of individuals of course , unless they actully tell someone else about their plans its very difficult to see any advance warning of their intentions. Holmes purchased nothing at all that is illiegal to own in the USA.
There is really NOTHING preventing an Islamic terrorist from doing much the same as Holmes did. However the motivation with a terrorist is to not only kill Americans but to disrupt the US economy. It is the wealth and power of the USA that they are attacking and thus air travel is one focus. All one need do is look at the structures attacked , the WTC towers and the Pentagon (we'll discount Flt 93 since its unclear what its target was). Symbols of American WEALTH and POWER.
In London what was attacked? The transit systems. London was brought to a halt.
Seems terrorists also want to make sure that their attacks cannot be mistaken for something else. A group walks into a mall and starts shooting,,, is that a gang shootout or a terror attack?
