Re: Corrected Translation of Bin-Laden\'s Threat: to U.S. \"STATES\"
I don't know, I really doubt this, Osama's beef is with America first and Bush second. Sure, Bush's policies have undoubtedly exacerbated his anger, but he has been angry for years.
Secondly, the US public will not break apart over this issue. As has been pointed out, we are not Spain, and tend to react in a very different (if equally irrational) manner towards threats.
Finally, the most attractive targets for terrorists are mostly in states that are firmly in Kerry's camp.
