Weak Nations Pose Greatest Threat
Good op-ed piece here on the threat of smaller, less stable countries.
Pertinent quote:
"Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair recently testified to Congress that the leading threat to America is no longer terrorism but rather the economic crisis, which is leading to unrest, violence and instability in a number of countries."
...which suggests that he doesn't see how terrorism always has been closely linked to economic conditions. That's frightening.
