I would now like to induce in you a nightmare
So, Al Qaeda bombed the United States Embassy in Yemen, a nation which I am pretty sure I can find on the map but am even more sure that more than nine out of ten Americans would not be able to find on the map. Al Qaeda was previously last seen with Usama Bin Laden videos blasting the Great Zionist Government of Iran, which should serve as a mental note for us all that they are working on a different frame than us.
This brings to mind the thought I had sometime after 9/11, which is that al Qaeda can get a good strike in America once every eight years — 1993, 2001 — at the dawn of a new Administration. Now, the last two times they hit the World Trade Center. That, of course, is gone with nothing built up as of yet. Which makes me wonder, since the landmark of their fascination is gone, what are they going to strike in 2009?
