#1 Westerners in general, and Americans specifically have a serious case of memory deficit disorder. This disorder will continue until the hallways of the Waldorf Astoria in New York, and the concourses at the Mall of America, for example, run with the blood of innocent men, women and children who have died because we have failed properly and unapologetically deal with the threat of Islamic terrorism within this country.

And not even then, IMHO.

#2 Some of us have dealt with the problem, only to be hamstrung by idiots who play theoretical games in court rooms and who have too much power to interfere in the real world. They forget Jefferson's warning - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

#3 Well written and prescient, I'm afraid. With their coddling of Muzz, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the next outrage occurs in Minneapolis or surrounding environs. Mall of America, crowded with shoppers, would be an appealing target to these scumbags. They could do tremendous damage before being taken out. In the face of real firepower, the typical mall guard would do as the ones in the train station in Mumbai, cower in fear. Americans ought to think about this, but they won't, anymore than the Indians did.

#4 I heard a large group of Minneapolis Somalis have dropped out of sight and are of concern. I would also not want to be in Las Vegas celebrating New Year's if the most recent targets and timing are an indicator of the terror forecast. Mumbai was planned for the Hindu New Year's besides the Millenmium plot and they do like large hotels with the civilian population maximizing the terror factor.
