Abraham H. Miller, Observer: The Next 9/11—Not If, But When
If our memory of the World Trade Center is fading, the carnage of Paris and Brussels should serve as a fresh reminder
There will be another 9/11. Terrorism against a superpower like the United States is basically political theater. Terrorists revel in lots of cameras transmitting their images, talking heads bobbing long into the night, and many of us re-experiencing the drama by living in fear. If theater is what you seek, America is just the ticket, offering a big stage and providing an audience of infinite proportions.
Because the terrorists crave publicity, they need to attack where the cameras are, where the time zone yields the longest news day for the continent. That means New York City or Washington, D.C.
Nearly half of America dwells in the Eastern Time Zone and nearly 80 percent dwell in the Central and Eastern Time Zones combined.

WNU Editor: It appears that terror groups and their followers are now focused on Europe when it comes to conducting mass terror attacks .... but it will only be a matter of time before their focus is on the U.S. and elsewhere (if not already).

Here's President Putin on the delays of the Crimean bridge and the highway to it.
The president, known for his flashes of dark humor, said: "There should be a specific person who can be hanged if it's not done."
Meanwhile, in Canada and the U.S. the farting around continues regarding a new bridge at the Windsor/Detroit border. The busiest border crossing in the world.
Of course, no one would ever even joke about hanging someone for any amount of farting around on a project over here. We just expect and accept that those "in charge" are inept and prone to wasteful foolishness.

Canadians and Americans routinely make the case for corporal punishment of government officials and monies private interests.
Could you imagine Maroun versus Putin?! I'd happily supply the bat.
"Get 'er done" was not just a slogan in the USSR.

"The canal and its facilities were mostly built by gulag prisoners. In 1952 the number of convicts employed in construction topped 100,000. A day spent at the construction yard was counted as three days in prison, which spurred prisoners to work. Several convicts were even awarded with the Order of the Red Banner of Labour upon their release."
It would be a great idea to get some of those "non prominent Canadians" (un-)mentioned in the Panama leaks to work off their un-paid taxes, and sentences, on the Gordie Howe Peoples' Bridge of Labour Therapy and Justice.
