Not one country has ever been crippled by a terrorist group trying to knock out a power grid. there's a reason for that. If it could be done, it already would have. Al Qaeda might someday again be able to kill a decent number of Americans in isolated attacks (they haven't been able to kill one American over here in seven years, and no, it's not because they aren't trying, we keep finding them out and rounding them up, and, here's a novel thought, we're killing them by the tens of thousands in the central battlefield, where they keep focusing their attention, because they know they must get the Dems to hel them kick us of out of Iraq or they will be f*cked), but their not going to shut down the country and bring us to our knees. The Nazis bombed the British cities into submission, but it did not stop the British. We bombed Germany off the face of the earth and yet, they fought to the last man, and their wartime production actually peaked in late 1944. If a country could just make another country collapse like that, we would have sent a bunch of Kraut talking guys into Berlin and done it. If you say our 2007 infrastructure technology actually makes us more vulnerable, I don't believe it. When a modern country is wrecked by a bunch of ignorant, extremist f*cks knowing out their power lines, I'll believe it. If it could be done it would have been done. With all the resources of our $13T economy, why didn't we just do that to Hussein if it was possible. In 1991, we (me included) had to go in and physically kick those bastiges out of Kuwait, even though we decimated their infrastructure far greater than any raghead power-grid terror team could. We actually blew up their infrastructure. Why don't we just send some CIA guys into Iran or N. Korea or Canada and shut their power grid down? Not that easy. Further, if they ever really did something fairly harmful (they can't possibly have nukes for the maintenance reasons i mentioned earlier, but pretend they do, could have), and they took out a quarter of Chicago. Not gong to happen, but, if it did, we would find every arab/muslim person in the country and isolate them (lke the Japanese in 1941, only worse). PC would die overnight. We'd blow up the country that sponsored them. It would never happen again. It won't happen in the first place anyway. When any country in the world, much less the USA, is brought to its knees by this mythical infrastructure terror, I'll believe it.
