Imagine the fear that would arise if terrorists deployed chemical or biological agents in an elementary school; attendance would drop immediately and confidence in the administration would be miniscule. Or worse yet, if terrorists simply arrived and began shooting.
I like to believe that we'd simply get REALLY PISSED OFF, and start explaining it to "them" in ways that would be unmistakable.

Would America have the resolve to respond the right way, or the way the terrorists would want?
Given recent history, I suspect "neither of the above" is the what we'd actually do.
