When it happens, everyone will go around saying "I knew this would happen" beacuse it's been engrained into our brains, and people will be more likley to support the resulting actions.

What a ridiculous argument, you say "deep down everyone knows another terrorist attack will happen",
but if/when it does and people "support resulting actions" you see that as sheep being fooled by the government.

How do you suggest people react after a terrorist attack, play Oblivion and pretend nothing actually happened?

Of course terrorists could fool everyone and not attack at all, wouldn't that show the US!...
it would be so much harder to justify or gain support for any "resulting actions" then, wouldn't it.

I expect people to actually think for themselves.

To kind of combine the other thread, after 7/7 and 3/11 the media went nuts on al qaeda. turns out this connection isn't true.

By the way, did you watch any of those videos i recommended a while back?
