Reinforced concrete is not soft and razor ribbon is not easy to play with. If nuclear power plants are soft targets, then there is no such thing as a hard target.

This post reminds me of something i read in City Journal a few quarters back... It was an essay examining our electrical grid and its essential vulnerability. This is due to the fact that the grid just kind of "grew" -- jury-rigged, as more need developed -- in a time before terrorism could be imagined. We will be vulnerable for awhile. However, I suggest you read "The Bottomless Well...Why We Will Never Run Out of Energy" by Peter Huber and Mark Mills. PJ O'Rourke (lordy, I do wish I could write like him) says of the book: "Here is an insight of genius: the real source of energy is human intelligence. It's infinitely renewable. It produces no emissions except a puff of CO(2) when smart people say 'AHA!' But there can be an energy crisis nonetheless -- due to a severe intellect shortage when public policy makers think about energy." Sigh...and when they're in charge of formulating their odious energy programs. I had a free moment and your sweet self passed through what passes for my mind…
