What Happened to the "Promise of Safety"??

Didn't Bin Laden promise not to attack any state that voted against Bush?

Shouldn't New York be safe from something like this?

Go rent the Wind and the Lion for an accurate insight into the workings of the Muslim mind. Or go rent it if you like Sean Connery or want to see a young Candice Bergen.

I have two thoughts about the terrorist threat. They are:
1) It will be carried out simply because 'It is the will of Allah' or
2) The U.S. is viewed (by people who don't know us) as a soft country that will quit if hit hard enough. Obviously, 9-11 was not a hard enough hit to make us fold up and quit. Their next plan is to hit us harder, hard enough to make us quit (or convert).
