Part of Intelligence Operations is putting oneself into the mind of the enemy they are watching. We know that there is more than one mind, one operation, working against us. One might be patient and wait for years, the other might have the mentality of a "bull in a china shop" and capable of acting at any time.
There are numerous cells across America, they have scientists, the black market is involved, possibly treason. We know that they are attempting to acquire weapons that can cause massive damage and death. We know they consider attacking various systems of our everyday life such as food, water, electricity. We know what they would like to do, what we do not know is exactly how far along they are on progress. We have to assume that the potential exists.
Obviously, gatherings such as New Years celebrations, Super Bowls, inaugurations and such are given heightened surveillance, but what about economic and political times? We are on an economic brink. Where does this come in. We have a new administration. Is there a vulnerability there, particularly since that administration is making overtures? Today, Iran made comments about President Obama's extended hand as being a sign of failure and weakness. Then again, can this be interpreted as confusion on their part? I would have to think that they would consider our economic problems and the political changes to be an opportunity that they may never see again. But then, they may think that we are falling on our own and delay operations originally scheduled.
This is but a part of the daily life of the agencies involved in protecting America. In case it has not been noticed, there have been a number of government spokesmen , one of whom has stated that an attack, of some sort, will happen within the next five years. Most Christians know that there will be an extremely difficult time in the future. We don't know when. It may be in our lifetime and may not. We are to function as normally as possible and keep everything in perspective. It is my opinion that much of biblical prophesy is written largely for the benefit of the people who have seen the fulfillment rather than in predicting its fulfillment.
The responsibility of the average citizen, in the war on terror, also involves mental and physical preparation for the aftermath of terror. To the Christian, this means prayer for wisdom, discernment and strength. Terrorism is a dark subject and there is legitimacy in concerns that extreme concern of it could lead to negative personality traits. Not being prepared means even more serious problems of depression and confusion that would cause impotency should events happen.
