FROM 9-1 TO 9-11

August 31, 2004

Labor day has now come and gone. Houstonians saw most of their plans go down the drain in rain. It didn’t stop the Mall shopping but it did drive down tourism in Galveston. There are bigger fish to fry though.

With 9-1 in the rear view mirror, 9-11 is quickly coming into view of the windshield. Between now and a week from this Thursday, there will be a lot of attention paid to our Homeland Security or the lack thereof: depending upon which party affiliation you wear.

Obviously the U.S. is not Iraq where a bomb-a-day seems to be the norm. Nor are we an Israel where it’s a tit-for-tat lifestyle of attacks. But we have had a 9-11 and we know the intentions of our enemies. As I have also written previously, al-Qaeda is not what it once was (not since 9-11) and they’d like to get back onto the front page of the world’s newspapers. Since an attack every two years seems to be an al-Qaeda behavior, 9-11-2003 has some special precautions to it.

I would not be surprised to see the national color code alert raised over the next ten days. If it’s not what will be raised is a lot of rhetoric about being safe: and it’s well placed!
