The question then is what the public reaction will be to the second attack.

I was planning on selling all of my stock in a total panic, cancelling my travel plans, and buying lots more little plastic American flags to stick in my lawn and fly from my car. And then, when things were seemingly at their lowest point, I'd start getting angry and begin complaining that we need to heavily review everyone in the US that might have a Middle Eastern or Indian background which would be quickly followed up by my outrage at the system and people who have rights that might allow them to plan or carry out terrorist activities. I'd agree with talk radio hosts and demand mandatory deportation of suspicious individuals who are not citizens, a full border lockdown, and I'd even advocate a huge listing of really opressive laws because someone said supporting them was the patriotic thing to do.

In celebration of the accomplishments of my country for providing the illusion of security, I'd take the date of the attacks and make that number so well known that it could never possibly evade anyone's memory. I'd make a fortune selling stickers with that number on it, followed by the text "never forget" set on a background of a big American flag and an eagle crying.

sorry, that's already taken. you'll have to think of something else.
