Thats a pretty bold comment.
it only took 4 planes to make the US economy come to a temporary halt. God knows what would happen if something of a slightly larger magnitude were to take place.
lets say NYC, or DC, or LA, or some city of that status, were to be wiped out in an act of terrorism. Do you really think the economy would hold after that?
Not to mention civilized countries would not allow the US to be taken over by a bunch of heathen, savages like the terrorists jumping up in down yelling "Jihad"!!!
I doubt the US will be ever be "taken over"
people keep thinking convensionally.
like I said in the earlier post, people would flee the big cities, and life would pretty much 'start over' in some fasion. Change is inevitable, so never say it will never happen.
