In Regards to Boston

We don't know who is responsible so just about anything written in terms of motivation will likely be wrong until we know who did it. In the meantime I offer what I wrote back in 2004 (apologies for the linked text. I was using a very different client then that totally ruined headlines and paragraph breaks):

A few months ago I told a co-worker that the only thing limiting the damage from terrorists is the terrorists imagination and that the next attack would involve ordinary vehicles. I still believe this and this recent scare is a validation of that point. And you should be very nervous...

What are they vulnerable to? Random bombings. I say to you that the terrorists will eventually fidn that for effect it would be easier to plant random car bombs all over the 5 boroughs and have them go off at random. Imagine for a minute that you are walkking down 7th Avenue and the car next you blows up and kills maybe 3 people. How nervous would you be for the rest of the day? How about multiple car explosions. all over the city? How scared would you be? How would the city react?
