Terrorism for dummies: Times Square bomber can't blow up a balloon.

The nut case who drove his SUV into Times Square with the intent of blowing it up was so inept, it looks like Obama got lucky again. The infamous Christmas Day "Underwear Bomber" also was a dramatic failure in his attempt at terrorism. If both of these inept terrorists had better training, all hell would have broken out. Republicans say Obama has been lucky in his policies to fight terrorism. His supporters point out that Obama has been effective in dismantling these terrorist organizations, leaving them with a bunch of "lone wolves," mental cases who work alone and are hard to keep track of, but incapable of doing any major damage. It would seem that anything of the magnitude of 9/11 would now be impossible. But if Iran gets nukes, all bets are off.
