The United States is the embodiment of the Western World....the concept of the seperation of Church and State vs theocracy.
Figure this scenerio....if a terrorist organization was able to set off a WMD in a major city in the USA or Europe every let say month or 6 months at more or less will....much like the suicide bombers in Israel are able to do except on a larger scale.......what would happen to the World economy.....the economy of the USA.....there simply would be no more economy...(the genius of the USA is the fact that assets are liquid, and without faith in the system there is no liquidity).....the world would be plunged into chaos....a veritable new dark ages....I think it was a Blair who said that there hasn't been a challenge to civilization like this since the age of piracy in the late 17th and early 18th century....that a lawless group can create havock and thus challenge the very fabric of civilization....in this case Western Civilization.....rule of law.... vs the rule of God as interpeted by men.....
This is by no means a definaitve answer but it is the best I can do at 2:30 AM..........
