The American public, however, has grown cynical about terrorist scares and would need a pretty convincing one to overcome the skepticism provoked by the Bush administration's past exploitations of the terrorism risk, notably around the Democratic National Convention.

3. In My Opinion....

Israel is going to strike Iran either just before or just after the election. They recently received F-15I Long Range Fighter/Bombers and, just like their attack against Iraq's Nuclear Program, they will want to hit it before the Nuclear Fuel arrives at Bashuhr (site of the reactor) I'd bet good money that the Israelis attack. It's not "if" but "when"
