Terrorism Has Not Worked ... Yet
Reader comment on item: The Limits of Terrorism
Submitted by Al (United States), Apr 24, 2009 at 16:37
The attacks have not been large enough, to date, to have a permanent impact. An EMP attack over America is possible and would throw this country back 200 years. That would qualify as success by the terrorists and it is their goal. Lets pray that we develop the ability to prevent this soon.
