Since the war in Iraq there hasn''t been a PEEP of a threat against the
city and those that have
been uncovered have been incredibly amateurish in there nature...and
I've been watching very
closely since 9-11. Prior to that there was an escalation of but
threats and attempts, many of them
including the attempted gas attack on the LIRR terminal, the bomb van
uncovered prior to entering
the Manhattan Bridge, and the shooting of Ari Halperin on the Brooklyn
Bridge, showed serious
escalation in threats to the Borough and the city.
The deportations of several Islamic clerics in Bay Ridge and downtown
Brooklyn put a serious
dent in things as well.
This election, which was driven by racism with a 97%+ Black American
vote, gives me the same sick
feeling I had with the Dinkins election. These are both smooth speaking
black politicians pushed by
corrupt machine politicians into positions they are philosophically in
capable of handling the problems
that they will need to tackle, and have no experience in governing.
