Question: If terrorists really wanted to exact as many deaths as possible and to create panic in our streets, they could simply take tanker trucks and dump boricv acid or another poison in pretty much every river and lake in the US. There are lots of places that are basically overgrown fields near the Ohio, Mississippi and other rivers, as well as the Great Lakes. Dump a tanker of poison into Lake Erie half of Ohio would be in trouble (as it supplies a lot of our streams and aquafers which in turn cities use for water). Also in doing this it would take awhile to get caught, find a deserted road that leads to the bank or shore and dump away.

Another way would be to start putting anthrax or some other skin absorbant powder that causes eventual illness and death. A couple hundred $20 bills saturated and passed out at truck stops and malls and you'd have a lot of deaths.

I'm sure terrorists have thought about this (I mean if I can think of sick shit like this anyone can, especially those whose lives are dedicated to sick shit) but not having done it shows me, they kill for show and a purpose and are not into "death tolls" but the statement the act makes.

They are not poor misunderstood victims without recourse, nor are they killing just to kill though. I think we need to work on the Middle East and find out why they truly do what they do (it's not the Koran or any religious thing or ALL muslims would be doing this not just a very small but extreme minority).

Once we understand who the enemies truly are and the reason for what they do, only then will we have the true defense in fighting them, for example: we find out how they truly recruit and use resources that take away the "rewards" they see in joining. No war or sanctions against a country is going to stop them. If anything, yes we may destroy anti-friendly governments but we alienate the ones who were innocent and scare other countries peoples into taking arms.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
