Oh, I see 3
Listening to a local talk show host who is (for some unknown reason) rehashing all the basic arguments for and against the war in Iraq.
I've covered this ground before, best here. At that time I wrote, among other things:
I realized just now that there's an even simpler argument against the "turrists follow us home" idiocy.
Bush says that the enemy wants to fight us where our army is.
Okay....
If you were Osama, where would you want to fight America? Where the US Army is, or where it isn't?
The truly odd thing is that the Left doesn't use any of these clear logical counter-arguments. Bush's claims are astonishingly easy to break, but our Left is even more thoroughly idiotized by decades of forced contradictions and weird alliances, by mixing Marx, Marcuse and Mohammed. Our Left can't even make arguments that would serve its own side. It just screams tourettishly about Halliburton, Habeas Corpus and Hitler.
Maybe God does protect drunks and idiots after all. ¶ 4:53 PM

Think about this for a minute. Exactly how is this going to happen? Several thousand Sunni and Shiite warriors will not be able to infiltrate easily into American life. These guys are not the elite Westernized types that performed 9/11. If they do attack en masse by some method, it means we are not doing the basic job of controlling our ports and borders.
