| Primus Pilus | One of the greatest security threats that can cripple the United States is by a series of Terrorist attacks. Any precicely planned and organized anthrax attack, dirty bomb, bio or chemical weapon attack can surely wreak unspoken havoc upon the US, thus is one of the primary concerns in securing an invincible Fortress America. The US is not fully prepared to counter such attacks and most of its important civilian facilities and infanstructures are unguarded from terrorists in comparison with Israel's full scale security measures. Israel operates one of the world's most sophisticated and intensive intelligence networks and treats civilian facitilies as a secret military installation, which are one of the primary targets planned by Terrorists. If dozens of suicide bombs exploded in several unguarded retail stores, gas stations, schools, subway stations, buses, restuarants, gyms, office buildings, any public or private facility that consists of large civilian gatherings, no doubt will cause more harm pyschologically and economically than militarily. However, don't jump into conclusions, the US showed resilience after 9/11, the bombing of the WTC during 94, Oaklahoma Federal Building Bombing.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Cabal, that tactic would completely ruin the USA's day, no question about it, but it would not erase the USA from prominance in the world nor would it have any longterm effects (other than likely turning every American into a Muslim/Arab hater overnight.)

| Centurion | The United States, like all nations, is run by and inhabited by humans. That is the flaw in its power. Humans can be defeated, so ther US can be defeated. Simple. Most likely never in our lifetime, probably not for centuries, but one day, it will inevitably be defeated. All nations face that fact.

| I am Honor | some good pionts indeed. And as I read history, I see that there was no one nation that really couldnt be defeated. As once Russia once, the US might be exactly the same. "The Sum Of All Fears" was a creepy movie

| Milforum Idol | In light of all of this discussion I would like to refer a book by a Mr. Robert Ferrigno. It hasnt officially been published but is expected to come out very soon.I recieved the advance reader edition and it is called Prayers For The Assasin. Quote from the summary: What would happen if the terrorists win? In 2015 after the simultaneous suitcase-nuke attacks destroy New York and Washington D.C.-attacks blamed on the Israeli Mossad- a civil war breaks out. An uneasy truce leaves the nation divided between an Islamic republic with its capital in Seattle and the Christian Bible Belt in the old South.END QUOTE. I think that is an excellent description of what could happen.
