The politics of fear
Al Qaeda's repeatedly stated aim is to develop nuclear capability and bin Laden's specific injunction to kill four million Americans (two million of them children) is entirely real. It is not intent, but capability, that is at issue. I do not believe for a minute that WorldNetDaily has any specific information that would suggest al Qaeda has realized this capability. But people who dismiss such a concern out of hand are people who have decided, whether they know it or not, that the risk is low because their safety can be entrusted to the security competences of ex-Soviet states. I do not share their optimism.
