Now, it's just two weeks plus one day away from September 2, 2004.
Thousands of left-wing liberals are gearing up to demonstrate at the RNC =
which begins August 30th. While most activist demonstrators are =
generally peaceful and organized, more than a few of them are felonious =
criminals-many are known to be violent and anything but peaceful.=20
It's not so much that we're concerned with these violent demonstrators, =
since the NYPD and guardsmen are all armed to the teeth. Rather, we're =
much more gravely concerned that violent disruptions by left-wing =
demonstrators will serve to aid and abet Al-Qaeda sleeper agents who're =
planning to detonate one or more of their Russian-made suitcase nukes at =
the RNC, or as near as they can get to it before being spotted by the =
authorities-at which point the terrorist would surely push the button =
before his or her 10-kiloton atomic bomb can be disabled by the bomb =
squad (each suitcase nuke is estimated to be more than half the power of =
Hiroshima or Nagasaki). Even if the nuke were detonated 20 miles from =
Madison Square Garden, just the thunderous CRACK of the distant atom =
bomb alone and ensuing city-wide panic could be as disastrous and lethal =
at the bomb itself. Such a scenario is too horrible to think about, yet =
the authorities must be prepared for every contingency, even if it's the =
very worst possible catastrophe imaginable.
And to complicate matters even further, there is a tremendous confluence =
of national and world events surrounding the RNC, like the post-9/11 =
climate of distrust and uncertainty, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, =
and the most contentious and equally-divided election year in the =
history of American politics. Add the global war on terror, and most =
especially the long shadow of Usama bin Laden and his Al-Qaeda terrorist =
network looming over the nation and weighing heavily on the minds of =
everyone concerned, especially those who'll be in and around Manhattan =
on the evening of President GW Bush's scheduled acceptance speech, and =
also those in the War Room who'll have to deal with the grim situation =
under Defcon 1 Alert.=20
So what, if anything, can be done about all this at this late date, with =
just 15 days to go?
First, barring unforeseen circumstances, President GW Bush must attend =
the convention as scheduled. In 2000, he was appointed, not elected, =
President of the United States (but he's been a fine president =
nonetheless). If the RNC goes off without a hitch, with no major =
Al-Qaeda attack, then Bush would miss the grandest moment of his =
campaign for (re)election. Also, if Bush decided not to attend on =
account of the clear and present danger of imminent Al-Qaeda attack(s) =
on NYC, then that would surely look bad to some voters. Bush is a =
courageous and honorable man, and devoutly religious. He must realize =
that America's greater destiny is destined to be, and cannot be undone. =
We are, after all, entering the gate into the fifth world which is =
verily global. In other words, I don't think Bush is going to back down =
from terrorist threats, for the good of the whole. I hate to use words =
like martyr, but it does come to mind.
