Are you worried about future terrorists attacks?

Absolutely. I don't think it's unreasonable to be concerned nowadays, especially with all the warnings we're getting from our government officials. Life has changed in this country - like it or not. I won't stop living my life, but we all need to be alert and aware of things around us. It's funny....I was a Girl Scout in my youth; our motto was "Be Prepared." I can't think of a better sermon to preach to the American public at this time.

yes. I have a child I am trying to raise in all of this insanity, of *course* I am worried about it. But I try not to let it get in the way of my normal day to day life, and I'll be damned if my son doesn't have as normal and happy a childhood as is possible.

I'm worried that if we keep bombing innocent civilians, they will attack us. After all, were not really being fair. Lets just find Bin Laden and make sure that he doesn't do anything else. And while were at it, send supplies to the poor countries that we did bomb. It must be really bad to be them, so at least send a few bucks. Thank You.

I AM CONCERNED BUT PUT MY FAITH IN GOD THAT HE WILL WATCH OVER THE USA AS WELL AS MY FAMILY. IT CANNOT CONTROL OUR LIVES AS THAT IS WHAT BEN LADIN WOULD LIKE.

Sort of...I mean, it's probably going to happen, but most likely not in my area. I hope we can defeat it, but there will always be someone out there who doesn't like us.

A little, but you can't spend your days worrying about that or everyone in the country would need to be on anxiety medicine.

What will be will be. I try only to worry over issues where I have some control. This is not one of them.

I'm concerned, not worried.

They seem inevitable. To worry about them is a useful as working about death itself.

Somewhat.

I wouldn't be surprised if more happened but I'm not exactly looking forward to the damned things.

Alias Irrelevante

not really. i know its likely it will happen, but im not gonna waste my life away thinking about it. i have other things to worry about.

Karen2, 15

Absolutely.

Ry, 23

Naturally. But not constantly; it just sneaks up on me from time to time.

Talia, 24

No, I guess not. There is absolutely nothing I can do about them except be prepared and I like to think I am as prepared as I can be...or am getting that way.

Reba, 50+

yeah

Patty

No, not really. Maybe I should be, but I feel a lot safer if I don't worry about those sorts of things.

Dianne, 17

I asked this question...unfortunately, I reasked it in a future question, without realizing I asked the first time...but whatever...no, I ainst worried, because that is exactly Osamma and his cronies want...Like this game said, which I downloaded from the computer says, Yo mamma Osamma...(the object is to kill Osamma...it is a very relaxing game...of course, I have no doubt that your soldier will take him, and the terrorist network, out for real. No is the answer...

I have put a button on the bag I carry to work every day. It reads "LIVING IN FEAR SUCKS" - so that should answer the question.

Not really. I assume there will be more attacks on American soil at some point in time, but at least I do not live in one of the Middle Eastern countries that are under attack daily. There is no point in worrying about the inevitable.

Aaron, 22
VA  USA

Yes! I don't think I would be as worried about it if I didn't just have a baby. I worry about his future and his safety.

Celeste, 30

I've maintained a low-grade paranoia about anthrax, small pox, hantavirus and other diseases. I expect more public buildings will be targets of violence, too.

Laura, 36

Maybe a little...but life is short and we only have this day for certain...so why stress out about something that might not even be an issue?

Angela, 18

Yep. But I'm getting on a plane this weekend anyway.
