"America's cities are America's heartland. AQ's strategists understood this; Bush, apparently, does not. The worst possible threat to America, if measured in lives, is a loose nuke or a dirty bomb in our complex and very rich coastal and riverine cities: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami, and of course Washington, DC. Maybe a shipping container, maybe a mass transportation railcar at rush hour as just now in Madrid... And Bush's policies have done NOTHING about this and in fact may have made the situation worse."

"Madrid proves that the theory that wars with states are the way to win the WOT is wrong (even granting that the WOT can be won, which I don't)."
