When subzero poll #s = "terrorist attacks" can we change the wording?

[Malikshah]

I am as fearful as the next person of what is going to happen when the rats finally stop spinning around in a panic and realize that there is no escape from the truth.

I firmly believe that there will be those in the regime who may cause something to happen.

This has been bandied about quite a bit over the years (YEARS, folks...not days or months, but YEARS since 9/11/01)

Is there another term that can be used when discussing the "terrorist attacks" that some fear will take place. By definition--they would be terrorist attacks...but the terminology needs to be nuanced, so to speak.

Any thoughts?

3. How about a 'fervent summer full of shock and awe'? It will happen. nt

4. The Term, "Reichstag Fire" Comes to Mind

5. True-- "We've been Reichstagged" sounds plausible

It could work

6. Government engineered fearmongering

Call it what it is.
