Greetings. I would like other posters opinions on this please...
My Dear Fellow US Citizens:
Let me begin by expressing my deepest sympathies and grief for those who lost their lives in the recent tragic events. Like most of us, I have been thinking long and hard about the attacks, and I have been thinking about the chain of events that led to them – beginning, for all intents and purposes, in 1993 with the bombing of the World Trade Center. I do not wish to appear to be too alarmist, and yet, I would never forgive myself if I did not share my thoughts with anyone who cares to listen.
This attack was obviously planned for a very long time. News reports suggest one or two years of planning. Perhaps that is true, but the idea was formulated long before that in my opinion. The original attack on the WTC in 1993 makes me think of boxers in the initial round of a bout – each opponent sizing the other up, probing for weaknesses. Perhaps it was a “training mission” of sorts, to give the terrorists the opportunity to re-evaluate the action – what went right, what went wrong, what could be done differently. And perhaps the other attacks were for the same purpose.
Then, prior to the millennium celebration the United States learns of a terrorist plot to place bombs in twelve US cities. Could this have been an intentional leak by the terrorists, to lull American Intelligence into a false sense of security? Then nothing until September 11, 2001. All quiet on the western front. And they caught us completely by surprise.
This, in my opinion is just the beginning. Since the bombing, there have been other suspected terrorists arrested at airports. Falsification of documents. Perhaps these are diversionary tactics. This is an extremely intelligent group. They proved that with the meticulous coordination of attacks on the US this week. Why would such a group that has such incredible intelligence attempt to hijack another plane, or bomb a large building when they are completely aware that the US is on such high alert? Like a magician, I believe these more recent arrests to be a sleight of hand – nothing more than a diversionary tactic. To lull us, once again, into a false sense of security. These individuals obviously have no regard for human life -–especially their own. Why would going to prison – or being deported – have any significance to them at all?
Once again we are behaving in precisely the way they want us to.
I cannot believe, by any stretch of the imagination, that they next attacks on our Nation will be in the form of a hijacking, or a car bomb, or other explosive devices – or on the East Coast. These people have proven exactly how sophisticated they are. Create a diversion. In my opinion, we need to be prepared for the very likely scenario of biological/chemical warfare, and in all likelihood in the Midwest where there is a limited number of people of Middle Eastern decent – why kill your own when you can decimate America? Get the nations main areas of agriculture. A little bit of anthrax in a crop duster, maybe? Destroy the nations food supply.
And those who are currently being arrested and probably deported. Won’t they have the last laugh? They got the American taxpayer to fly them home – to a safe place – as disease spreads across America like wildfire.
I hope to God in Heaven that I am simply being paranoid, but in this case I believe that paranoia is quite appropriate. These people are brilliant and sophisticated and they want to destroy us. Tuesday’s attack proves that they have the determination, the financial resources, the knowledge and the disregard for any life at all to do just that.
