The war on terror is a political convenience to advance an agenda. Your wife or your neighbor or a ladder is 10,000 times more likely to kill you than OBL. Terrorism is only successful if folks are terrorized; OBL, with help from our current administration, have managed to make 9/11 the most successful terrorist act ever.

John, of course, I agree with you but such an intelligent reaction to the terrorist problem is not likely to happen in this country. The attacks on the WTC were very effective........OBL knew what he was doing. People jumping from the WTC towers and the towers themselves collapsing will be forever etched in our minds. Its turned us into a nation of chicken littles, and Bush and company have capitalized on it.

And Bush appears to be winning. I think the problem is that we as a nation are in decline. We have become soft and fearful......too capitalistic. And we are divided. What is by all definitions a weak leader is leading this nation by its nose. Europeans are totally perplexed by the behavior of the American people. One only has to look at the Brits' response to Blair's mendacity and then ours to Bush's to see that something is very wrong. Its terribly disconcerting.
