i think we will all agree, when the planes hit the wtc sept 11 and when the london bombings occured on 07/07, we were not expecting it at all. We were very vulnerable. My first question is do you think we are too vulnerable in general for these attacks? Whenever there is such an attack, for the first few days we remain on high alert and then it simmers down. Do you think we are too quick to do this and thus as a country (UK and USA especially) we become vulnerable again very quickly?
And my 2nd question, do you think that at some point in the future there will be another attack on the scale of 9/11, even with our increased preparation for such horrific events.
I am British and am worried for the future of our countries who are at war with these extremists.
I recently saw United 93 and it is such a powerful film. It was so horrible seeing the fear in the innocent passengers on the plane
and to think that is a very realistic take on what it must have really been like, its so scary.

Yes we are vulnerable, especially when most of our defence forces are half way across the world!
I live in the UK, Northern Ireland

I think we do live in a too vulnerable country and i think we will get more attacks like the 9/11. I live in Wales in the UK and am british too, but i'm too scared to think countries will start bombing here and other places like scotland instead of England as we just can't fight them.

Theres only 1 way to win.
When we were in Africa and Middle East decades ago.. the population couldn't harm us as we had machine guns and firearms and explosives and they didn't.
Now we need cutting edge AI technology, intelligent drones with armour and weapons and anti-gravity capability to act as soldiers (intelligent combat robots) and all the advanced tech stuff to gain tech advantage again.
