Where will Al-Qaida they hit us next?? (Lots of questions..)?
Ok so im curious about alot of things. If you don't mind helping me understand our real threat i would much appreciate it ^_^ So basically im hearing alot of stuff about terrorist attacks in the "making" i guess you could say people are planning. But i guess that's with any country right?? But i was reading this article ----> http://news.yahoo.com/weaker-al-qaida-still-plots-...
Alot of it is saying that AlQaida is weaker but yet they are still plotting. No surprise really. And to be honest i don't see how they can even be 100 percent sure that they have gotten weakened enough that we should really worry. How are they to know?? Also since they killed Ben Laden Al-Qaida has stated they will avenge him.. More attacks.. My point is where would they go next?? They already took our beloved twin towers.. (OFF TOPIC but i strongly believe when the towers collapsed there were explosions involved so much proof) But most importantly they took nearly 3000 lives ): I myself believe they would go to washington.. Or maybe somewhere similar like the twin towers with tons of people. Possibly multiple places again.. Will they possibly do it by high jacking planes again?? Ever since 9/11/01 i know security is tighter but its still very very possible. Also when do you think they will possibly strike again?? I was thinking even before i read this article today they may possibly do it on they anniversary of Ben Ladens death. Or later on. Idk just curious i do keep in mind anything is possible and that it could happen out of the blue like it did on 9/11.. Well to us it was sorta out of the blue. The president then had so many leads and chances but still did nothing.. But really is Al-Qaida our main and worse threat we should worry about at the moment?? Well that was alot of randomly but yeah XD Just curious(:
Yeah but im just asking to see what other people think or believes. Some people have very strong inner senses on things that will happen.
Haha im a 19 year old girl who is very interested in this stuff but yet i don't watch the news:/

They don't actually have to do anything.
They're already hitting you psychologically by making Americans worry, wonder, and wait.
They've made the US spend billions on heightened security measures.
They've caused the US to strain its relations with other countries as a result of terrorism fears.
And they've got the US to transforming American society with repressive laws.
It's kind of like a high school bully that kicks some kid in the crotch, then spends the rest of their time going "Boo!" without actually ever hitting them again.
Just the fear of being hit again is enough to keep that kid terrorized.
As for who's the main and worse threat, well, they did manage to attack the continental United States and cause massive damage and loss of life.
Not even Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan managed that during World War Two.
The only other time the US was at home like that was during the War of 1812 when Washington D.C. was seized and burned in revenge for US troops trying to conquer Canada burning down Canadian towns and villages.
So that makes al Qaeda a definite threat if they ever get another chance like 9/11.
But there's also other countries that represent an even greater threat. Like Iran, for example.
They're insanely plotting world conquest:

And if they develop nukes, they could do more damage to the US than any terrorist:

You missed this mornings headline then about how they have lost the capability to mount a major attack against the US.
