What's the next step in the "war against terrorism"?

[StageLeft]

Ignoring any doomsayers in the media now and heightened alert status I think anybody is deluding themselves if they really think that the US won't experience another major terrorist attack or attacks within the next several years. Maybe this week or in 5 years, but let's give a bad case scenario:

Synchronized chemical attacks occur in subways, airports, and maybe a couple of major sports games. Total casualties similar to 9/11 with long-lasting effects likely in many times that. What can REALLY be done about this? I mean really short of arming all non-middle eastern decent people with guns and saying shoot any middle eastern person you see on sight (realizing that the vast majority of them abhor these events as much as the next guy but also realizing that all terrorists are coming from this group), what can really be done to defend against these attacks?

You think the gov't is trying hard now, if something like the above happens watch their efforts go to the next level. I just don't know what it could be.

Considering the landmass and population of canada there is about one person per 2 million square miles. You'll have quite the guerilla war on your hands!

We'd recruit,arm and train the Polar Bears and the Fur Seals. Needless to say the Fur Seals aren't very fond of the Canadians (they commit genocide on their pups) while the Polar Bears think they are pretty tasty.

The next step is to make the Federal government even more powerful and take away even more rights. I'm honestly more worried about our government's response to terrorism than any terrorist act itself.

We'll feed them contraband coca cola. No more polar bear threat!

we need to kill more terrorists

I have a better idea. To draw out the Terrorists lets paint targets on the Backs of AG Ashcroft and his minions and when the terrorists try to take a shot at them we will nab them right after they pull the trigger.

Gonad, have you seen The Patriot Act 11. Weeeeeee! It's a duzzy.

The next step.

"Dr. David Cole, Georgetown University Law professor and author of Terrorism and the Constitution, reviewed the draft legislation at the request of the Center, and said that the legislation ?raises a lot of serious concerns. It?s troubling that they have gotten this far along and they?ve been telling people there is nothing in the works.? This proposed law, he added, ?would radically expand law enforcement and intelligence gathering authorities, reduce or eliminate judicial oversight over surveillance, authorize secret arrests, create a DNA database based on unchecked executive ?suspicion,? create new death penalties, and even seek to take American citizenship away from persons who belong to or support disfavored political groups.?"
