Of course I am assuming I have friends....

Anyway here is the question: What would be the effect long term and short be on Las Vegas if a Terrorist Organization succfessfully set off a Dirty Bomb (Nuclear material wraped in conventional expolosives) in one of the Strip Hotels. Which made lets say a 10 square mile area uninhabital for a large number of years?

Corollary: What would the effect be on the economy of the USA if such a bomb were set off in any major city with similar results...thus underling the vunerability of the USA to such attacks...and finally what would the effect be on YOUR standard of living?

Simple question....

Now to what lengths would U go to, to prevent such an attack from taking place...

Torture, assination, violation of Civil Rights (Privacy laws in paticular), Invasion, covert operations, consfication of assets, etc?

Remember what the Shadow Minister of Defense for the UK said after 911. ..."The USA has been the provider of Global Security since WW2, and if the USA fails to act (in a decisive way) then Global Security will fail."

So there is no safe haven....
