A foreign party could ship a package to our port, detonate remotely with a cell phone after tracking the package with GPS, and destroy a major city with no warning at all. (I hope no terrorist are reading this) Food for thought...

Jason, you missed a KEY point in what I wrote. If the terrorist is DEAD, he's not gonna be able to detonate anything.

The Saudis, however, are a much more likely threat, considering their track record and their sheer volume of resources and influence.

Adam, according to Mr. Alawi, the terrorists are flooding through the border INTO Iraq. I would think it likely that a least a large percentage of those guys are the Saudis you speak of. Again, if one dies in Iraq, he is no longer a threat somewhere else in the world...not just the U.S.
