We get unexpected holidays here, by way of harthals. Its a form of strike where the strikers restrict conveyance. Originally it was a form of strike called bandh and harthals used to be just closing shops in protest. Then the Supreme court of India banned bhandhs saying it was denial of citizen rights. And what happens now is, the political parties conduct harthals instead of bandhs but again the practice is to restrict conveyance. Just a change of names, funny eh?

This is America, the land of goverment controled media. Do you really believe anything you hear from the networks?
Maybe the US should guard every power transmission pole and installation. If a few lines going down can cause such havoc, imagine what 10 determined operatives could do. Forget the airports, protect the power lines! Cheers Mike Johannesburg, South Africa

Sure, sounds good to me. Maybe we should put road blocks at al entrances to our cities, and while were at it we can put cameras in all of our homes, thats where all the bombs are built ya know. If we control all the people all the time we have it made. Nothing to worry about.

And the software to control the people, developed in India? But what are you then going to do with the Canadians? The are a problem too! Cheers Mike Johannesburg, South Africa

Seems unlikely. It would indicate a sophistication not yet seen in terrorism. An evolution from the idea of flames and body parts to economic disruption. Even the most casual student of terrorism would acknowledge that the major factor in terrorism is 'terror'. I'm sorry but the loss of a billion dollars here or there isn't 'terror'. To you or I a billion dollars is a lot. To an economy the size of the USA it's rather less than a drop in the bucket. Especially when it's not 'real' money anyway. So no - I cannot subscribe to this theory. Rob Manderson http://www.mindprobes.net

Have you noticed how all the Canadians live right along the US border waiting to invade at a moment's notice. The US should demand that they withdraw at least 100ks from the border.

I live in Phoenix Arizona and have recently visited Manhattan (I'd move there in a second if I had the chance - I loved it!!). A few months ago (during the early weeks of the US invasion of Iraq (with which I don't agree but until I get the vote here my opinion doesn't count for much)) my wife hinted at doubts about her safety here in Arizona. Apart from the Intel plant at Chandler I see no reason to believe that Phoenix is going to be a terrorist target. Why? Just look at the difference between Manhattan and Phoenix. Manhattan goes up and up and up. Phoenix just goes out and out and out. I think the reason the WTC was a target was the sheer number of people concentrated in a small space. Hit a 110 storey office building with a fully fuelled 757 and you get a lot of dead people. Hit Phoenix with the same plane and you get a large scar in the ground. So I believe the intent is to kill people. Blackout 2003 killed so few people that it hasn't even hit the news. Ergo, not a very believable theory. Rob Manderson http://www.mindprobes.net

The IRA had moved towards economic terrorism before entering into peace negotiations. Their bombs were targeted at the financial areas of London. Primarily to cause great expense and loss of confidence in London as a financial centre. It certainly caused great expense and tragically cost several people their lives. It is potentially, a very effective form of terrorism since governments tend to care more about the economy than the lives of a few of their citizens. I doubt whether the blackout was terrorism though.
