Reply #51: the first type scenario might work [View All]

the other two didn't get that much prolonged public reaction in real time. Remember the Embassy bombings ... that preceding the quick bombing attempt in Afghanistan that was quickly dismissed as wag the dog - why? Because the horror of the bombings was short lived in the public sentiment. The public yawned at the Bali bombings, the public is quiet about Darfur... Would be hard, I think, to get the right scenario that would actually rally the amount of public support - and in a way that was sustainable over time - and in a way that could nto be proven internationally as a hoax (as the international media is much more skeptical than ours).
