Even if he did predict 9/11 six years before it happened

Predicting another attempt by Islamists on the WTC is not very impressive. The WTC were iconic in and of themselves by virtue of their height and also as a perceived symbol of the kind of globalization that has to be playing hell with the continuing effort of traditionalists to keep their wives and daughters down in the harem after they've seen Paree.

I wont consider myself a seer or especially wise when there is another attack by Islamists on New York. They clearly have a serious chip on their shoulders about the city. Anyone who lives within sight line of the harbor has to figure on a small but significant chance of looking a small nuclear explosion in the face in any given year.
