Are we in denial?

Here is an article from a non-mainstream source that is really scary. Do you think our schools are at risk? Or do you think terrorists realize that a Beslan-type attack on American schools could release a fury that would threaten every Muslim in the USA?

Here's an excerpt:

Probably the last place you want to think of terrorists striking is your kids' school. But according to two trainers at an anti-terrorism conference on the East Coast, preparations for attacks on American schools that will bring rivers of blood and staggering body counts are well underway in Islamic terrorist camps.

* The intended attackers have bluntly warned us they're going to do it.
* They're already begun testing school-related targets here.They've given us a catastrophic model to train against, which we've largely ignored and they've learned more deadly tactics from.

"We don't know for sure what they will do. No one knows the future. But by definition, a successful attack is one we are not ready for," declared one of the instructors, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman. Our schools fit that description to a "T"-as in Terrorism and Threat.

This is an interesting web site focused on the effects of violence as well as the need to protect ourselves from violence.
