You heard it here first, folks.
I predict there will be no terrorist attacks on U.S. soil until after the 2008 Presidential election. Here's why. Bin Laden, et. al., know that if you fuck with the U.S. while a Republican is in office you will get hammered. (q.v. the U.S. owns Afghanistan and Iraq as a result of 9/11) Terrorists would all much prefer to see a Democrat in office, who probably wouldn't fight back as hard. They know that any terrorist act will galvanize the people into backing whoever is President, especially someone like Bush who will hit back hard. If another terrorist act is committed before the election it will increase the chances of a Republican getting winning the election -- something they don't want. Therefore, there will be no terrorist act on U.S. soil until after the election. Terrorists also remember the last time they tried to influence the election it backfired (q.v. audio tape Bin Laden released a few weeks before the 2004 election) and bolstered Bush. What do you do when your enemy says, "Don't vote for candidate A"? You vote for candidate A. So they won't be making that same mistake again.
Something else to consider. In most Muslim countries, and certainly in the orthodox Muslim religion, women are looked at (and treated) as inferior. They are seen as weaker and unworthy of an education, important jobs, etc. What does someone who holds this view think of a woman running a country? Probably that it is a dumb move and signifies that the country (in addition to being a moral cesspit worthy of being destroyed) is weak and "easy pickins". My prediction is that shortly after the demos take back the White House in '08 (and especially if Hillary is in office) there will be massive attacks by terrorists againts the U.S. who will hold the above described view. I only hope that they're wrong.
