Nobody thought even in dreams that 9/11 would happen to Americans. Suddenly menace of terrorism overcastted the sky of the USA and become the biggest problem for the country. Now will the United States will able to face terrorism? In a recent news item CNN has raised this question revealing that the United States wasn’t prepared to meet Al Qaeda’s challenges. Tom Kean, the Republican chairman of the
committee showed concern that enacting the changes is not a
priority for the
government. Instead of accepting the
recommendations of the committee four years ago necessary steps are not being taken by the president or by the Congress. Lee Hamilton, the committee’s Democratic vice-chairman, predicted another sill occur and the nation is not as well-prepared as it should be. While the Bush administration did carry out one of the panel’s recommendations it neglected most of the recommendations.
First
responders still cannot communicate with each other in an emergency because no part of the radio spectrum has been allocated for their use. The police and the fire cannot talk to one another at the scene of the disaster. They could not do it on 9/11, and as result of that lot of people were killed. They could not do it at Katrina,. They can not do it if terrorists strike again. The government has been asked for a unified command system, under which first responders in any situation would know who is in charge. Kean expressed concern over the US efforts to secure nuclear sites. There is not enough progress. Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden has warned to use nuclear weapons to
attack the United States. Securing the country from such an attack should be government’s priority. Americans are safer, but not yet safe. And it is worrying everybody.
