   Comment deleted; while understanding the emotional nature of the issue, LST is not an appropriate forum for advocating or even toying with the idea of destroying the religiously significant structures of other faiths. There are plenty of other places on the Internet when folks are free to have that discussion.

   Thank you all for your understanding.

   Give me a break. Why would a terrorist call in a bomb threat? “Uh, my name is Mohamed,I want to blow up monument. Get everyone out. I dont want to hurt any infidels, I mean people.” Yeh right.

   The plan might be to make all these false alarms then do the real thing.

   Well, it could be that someone called in a threat they found out about. If I heard my neighbor talking about blowing something up, I’d call the cops.

   If I heard my neighbor talking about blowing things up, I’d put a very large blade under his chin and frog march him to the police…. but hey, that’s me….

   #2 - my thoughts exactly.

   What I’m amazed about is that there haven’t been suicide bombers in shopping malls and grocery stores here. It makes me think either exposure to Western society overcomes the need for self-immolation, or else our anti-terror guys are very very good.

   Missfish,
   you may be on to something. Why die and hope for the virgins when you can just go to the mens clubs and Asian spas all around Houston and get to go home at the end of the day.

   Gregg, they’re stress management clinics.

   Matt, my wife stresses the importance of me not going to them. Or she will manage 1/2 my money and property.

    Is it possible one of Dick Cheney’s staff called in a bomb threat because he thought that way he wouldn’t have to go in for work?
    If it had been on Tuesday, I’d have thought it was just Hillary staying home to see her show “Commander in Chief.” {{spoiler: in the season finale twin-espisode, America lays in ruins and we all die}}

    Okay, just kidding. Everything’s just a big joke. Don’t get your heavily-armed secret-police and legalese-bureaucrats panties in a bunch. It’s all just a joke and everyting is rosy. Rosy. Didn’t somebody say Hillary was the smartest woman in America? (It wasn’t Rosy, was it?)
    (P.S. Yes, and they lied. They lie all the time, you know. Write that down and save it for later.)

    These guys don’t call in advance. They’re not the IRA. Their MO is: Perpetrate. Wait. Reiterate.
