Re: Nuclear Power Plants and Terrorism
BUT - they don't NEED to succeed! Their intent is to change our way of
life! They have already done that to a considerable degree. (anyone
who thinks the current wave of security measures and the "home guard"
are temporary ..... must have failed history!)
All they need do is ATTEMPT such a thing and when it fails the cry of
the anti's will be that "we were just lucky" and it COULD have been so
much worse. That would probably poison the public mind so much as to
assure the end of nuclear power. The resulting increased dependence on
middle eastern oil will raise prices and cut supplies and surely change
out way of life - JUST as they want to do!
