LAT lefty's op-ed on terrorism doesn't disappoint

On Wednesday, the congressionally appointed Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism asserted that “it is more than likely that a weapon of mass destruction” — most likely biological — “will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013.” I take that warning seriously. But I also wonder: Why would a terrorist bother to manufacture a nuke or “weaponize” a virus — a complicated, costly, risky and time-consuming process — when all he needs is a few determined people, some cheaply and easily obtained weapons or explosives, and boom? Even the most sophisticated society would be left paralyzed with fear.
