   The plans that never amounted to anything more than scribbles on the back   
   of a napkin?  Those plans?   
      
   If you want to worry about terrorists, worry about home-grown nazis with   
   arsenals.  What happened in Norway yesterday was the same as what   
   happened in OKC and Columbine here.  America has much more to worry about   
   from native right wing fruit loops then it does from the thoroughly   
   defanged al Qaida.   
      
   And you know what?  All that money being spent on military shit won't do   
   a damn bit of good against terrorists, whether they are al Qaida or   
   local, because the entire PURPOSE of terrorist cabels is to nullify and   
   even defeat vastly superior military forces.
