I'll be able to get my aunts perspective on all this soon (hopefully), she lives in Azuza, Cali and works for the mayor of Cali. Sadly she doesnt work for Arnie, that would make her view even more substantial, but Ive just had a brief 10 minute chat with her on the phone and she doesnt find the Karl Rove 'October surprise' a surprise. She always thought that the Republicans had something up their sleeve.

Im not saying that a mass attack on America WILL happen, but sadly everything seems to be pointing to another attack on America by the end of the year, especially with AQ warning us to 'convert or die', then telling Muslims to get out of America. Surely they wouldnt release tapes telling us to do this without having an attack in the works? If they didnt attack, then the threat of AQ in the minds of Westeners would pretty much be zero. As far as I know, they only have to give warnings if the attack is going to incurr mass casualties... I hope to God that if it does happen, then it will just be another 9/11 as opposed to hundreds of thousands killed. Thats all we can hope for really... a 'small' scale attack.
