What about your post should we discuss? The world is a dangerous place, it always has been. I have more chance of dying from a spider bite than a terrorist attack or foreign invasion. I could drive a tank to the grocery store but would still be afraid of the other idiots on the road.
Are you paid to be her or do you have something serious to discuss?

Hell I live in DC; but a terrorist with a nuke is a nightmare scenario for ANY big city. Nukes are out there and so are terrorists.

Fear mongering updated. What is its purpose? Could just as easily posted something from the 50's or 60's when the right-wing kept us trembling from a Commie attack. I remember seeing a similiar one with a title something like,"What Would Happen to DC in a Nuclear Blast". I guess we're to distill something from this about ISIS, Arabs or embrace war-hawks a little tighter to protect us.
