Isolationism

  1. Howzit on the Big I? My mom's from Kohala....Yeah, the war will definitely hit our state hard. Unavoidable. What worries me more is just one terrorist attack on say Waikiki beach, or something akin to the Bali bombing. We are so vulnerable here. I often wonder if terrorists look at Hawaii and think what a great target it would be - imagine the statement they would make by attacking Pearl Harbor.

    As far as the sovereignty folks, I don't think even they know what they're going to do one minute to the next.

    Latuhs.

    Yeah, especially when Hawaii declares the state code blue:

    Wouldn't a location with 2 lower levels of risk than orange (as on the mainland) be more attractive to a terrorist? Our only salvation is the smaller population...

  4. I have to say it doesn't seem to be that big of a discovery. Pearl Harbor is kind of an obvious target for obvious reasons. I really don't see how terrorists would be able to get control of airliners nowadays anyway.

    Fingers crossed....
