Only part of U.S. anti-terror operations are happening over in places like Afghanistan, etc. The rest are here in the U.S. I can tell you that if I lived in the big cities, especially on the coasts, I’d be making plans to move to flyover country. After 9/11 and after the bus bombings started in Israel, I had lib friends of mine tell me they would rather have bus bombings and other “minor” attacks than to have the govt do any new patriot act type monitoring of anybody. So, with the help of the dem party marketing department (the press - why don’t they have to report their assistance to the dems as campaign contributions?), these people have elected their own kind. And you and I are expendable.
