The whole question of the next attack become "why" - in what way are the terrorists trying to influence the next election? What do they hope to accomplish?

"If you were Al Qaida, who would you want for president of the US?"

This is like the logic parodox that Spock destroyed the Mark 5 with, There are two answers:

If they answer "John Kerry", it begs - Why would they attack at all then? It would just play to into Bush's hands. Wouldn't it just make Bush stronger for them to attack again? Why not just do nothing and help get rid of Bush?

If they answer "George Bush" it evokes the question, Why would they want the stronger one who is going to route them out? And why are you supporting the one the terrorists wan anyway?

Something tells me there's going to be no terror attack. The talk of one plays up Bush, but the event of one would damage him completely. He would have failed us once again. But a foiled attack would really be good for Bush, it would show him as a success while reinforcing the fear factor.
