I thought I was pretty clear:
On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is "radical Islam is a minor group of assholes who just got lucky on 9/11" and 10 is "radical Islam represents the world's next big cultural collision with the possible repercussion of the collapse of the USA".
If you believe that there will never be another 9/11, that either our security is good enough or the will of militant islamists to bring about the downfall of the US is weak enough to say that they are pretty much powerless, you'd vote 1.
If you believe that another 9/11-scale attack is inevitable and that this could lead to a "total war" situation which requires 1940's style efforts and widespread change on behalf of the American people just to survive as a culture and nation, you'd vote 10.
If you're on the other side, and believe that the power of the US is the najor threat to the entire world, and that a nuclear detonation in a major city would be a pretty good way to cut off its nuts and ensure that no particular nation is a dominant world power, then I guess you'd vote 0.
It's pretty clear, just give us a number.
