I'm disappointed. You've had plenty of time and this is the best you could come up with. A personal attack on another poster and ambiguous cheap sunday paper type headlines.
Given the number of assasination attempts on American presidents lives (succesful or otherwise) it would be unusual if there was not an attempt in the next couple of years.
You need to better define a nuclear attack. Are you referring to a nuclear explosion, a dirty bomb or an attack on a nuclear facility (power or weapons)? The first is unlikely due to the technical difficulties, the second is technically easy but limited in scope and the third requires significant manpower.
A biological attack is more likely but this again has significant difficulties associated with it. The only known terrorist attack of this type (Tokyo underground) was limited in effect and easily contained. In fact more people died as a result of a rescue attempt at the Moscow Opera using biological weapons than died in Tokyo.
The event I am predicting happens once in a lifetime and probably not even that. I can only think of Hiroshima being as close to it.
Perhaps the attack on Dresden or the attack on Nagasaki or the fire bomb attack on Tokyo (which killed more people than died at Hiroshima). Oops, we now have four such events in a 2 year time frame. I suppose it probably was a once in a lifetime event for those that were unfortunate to be there.
The personal attack on the intellect of another poster. Shame, shame, shame. You can only discredit anything you say by taking this path.
I really am looking forward to seeing comments from anyone who has attended one of your courses.
