The aim is to disrupt. This is why the IRA would often phone up the authorities with precise information as to where they'd planted a bomb, to cause chaos by creating fear. There are no easy answers and if the authorities ignore one warning and it turns out to be genuine, then they will have failed in their duties.

Live in a post 9/11 world like the rest of us. Live in the "I'm an American and I'm not ashamed of who I am" world like the rest of us. Live in the world where you can go see a movie without "fear" of being used for someone else's political purpose or oppression. Live in a world where you and your partner can walk hand and hand and not "fear" the worse. Live in a world where all people dream to come and help them either here or "over there" have that same world but yet different world. Live in a world where "100%" of the population is part of a productive society. Live in a world where all opinions are heard and not suppressed. I live in that world and we all would like to have the rest of that world and I believe you do too. Nice blog. Keep it up. Live in the “no fear” world like the rest of us.

I think that Bush likes to see terrorists stuff made public as that rallied folks around him after 911 and he managed to push a lot of things through when folks weren't watching or paying attention. I think he would like to keep folks focused on that terrorists mindset in order to keep them from thinking clearly again. All I know is that this kind of stuff sucks for you....to have to worry daily about your city and everyone that you love would be hard to bear. I am afriad that folks will be hostages of that fear for a long time to come. I am not sure who to believe in any of this either.

I believe the New York leaders acted properly on information they received about a terrorist threat. What I question is why when the shit hits the fan with the Bush regime there's always a terrorist threat. Most Americans aren't as enthralled in politics as we are & just listen to the headlines. What they hear is: FEAR. They don't hear, Delay indicted on another count, Karl Rove to testify for a 4th time to the grand jury, More deaths in Iraq, more cronyism with Supreme Court nomination & Katrina contracts. Motivate by fear & the masses follow. Worked for him in the 2000 election & too many Americans are still sleeping. Motivated by fear.

It may be the thought of living in a big city and the effects it has on one's phyche, but I thought I'd take the time to say I enjoy it.

The terrorists don't have to follow through with an actual threat. Just by making it, they create such havoc as it is. What it does to our collective psyche, though, by living in fear of an attack robs us of our vitality. I'm beginning to enjoy my visits to your blog. Your writing is both purposeful and meaningful, and I like the honesty of your persona. Scot Pia:
