agreed on all counts, Tom
you may underestimate my perceptions though
our giant has awakened
but with reluctance to lose lives in sacrifice,
with reluctance to take steps involving invasion,
with reluctance to reduce our civil liberties,
and with clear inability to accurately assess terrorist abilities,
I regard our country and our western civilization at huge risk
I have mentioned many times my doubt that American resolve has much follow-thru
if times become quiet in the next three months, I expect strong pressure for a return to the convenient previous ways
they were and will probably return to be insecure ways
last night on CNN, former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was interviewed
he was clear, plain, and scarey, with loud admonitions
but he was right on for had to be said
he said exactly what I thought
he said binLaden has been seeking nuclear capability for months
he wouldnt have to search far, since Russia is only 2000 miles north
1/3 of the former Soviet nuclear arsenal is missing
he warned that the US had better wake up to the enormous threat
that the US had better take large steps to combat the threat
that the threat would not be gone if binLaden were killed
by the way, American politicians and Powell himself have begun to talk about MONEY
but unfortunately, binLaden's money is safe in Saudi Arabia
most of the 19 hyjackers were from Saudi Arabia
I regard King Fahd as their next target
his crime was allowing US Military on Saudi soil for the Gulf War
yesterday I had the pleasure of lunching with a beautiful woman colleague at my firm
her name is Evsen (pronounced EV-SHEN) from Turkey
she is Moslem, and I might add stunning cute
when she walks down the office aisle, I always ... nevermind
she said the US must take steps to use the Koran for its benefit
she said there is NOTHING in the Koran advocating killing or violence
NOTHING in the Koran about infidels desecrating their land by their mere presence
we need to use the Koran to split Moslems from terrorists
there is nothing consistent between terrorist activity and the Koran teachings
she is ashamed of the link between terrorists and Islam
I dont underestimate this conflict ONE IOTA
I see it as culminating in future years
its focal point will be Jerusalem
Rome's Vatican will be destroyed
a false leader will emerge from Europe with strange powers
worldwide security will go to the extreme
all individuals will be forced to use an ID
THIS WILL LEAD TO NUCLEAR WAR WITH CONFLAGRATION
AND TOTAL ANNIHILATION OF THE MIDDLE EAST HOTSPOTS
ALL WORLD POWERS WILL PLAY A ROLE
see the Bible, the books of John, Daniel, Ezekiel
the first prophesy was "Israel will become a nation"
(considered an utter joke for 18 millennia)
a later prophesy was "Persia will awaken"
(considered a joke for 18 millennia)
many many more follow
who is laughing now?
if American leaders see this threat as I do, much will change
I see our leaders waking up finally
yes, they live in Romantic thoughts, not Reality thoughts
but I dont see our leaders regarding the above as real threats
we believe that certain rogue countries have some nuclear material
but since they lack intercontinental missiles, they are no threat
wrong
now we saw how airliners can deliver mass destruction
what was binLaden's cost? five tickets to LA = $1200
I expect in my lifetime, and perhaps within a few years, to see NewYorkCity totally leveled
unless our leaders expect that likelihood, it will happen
the public pressure to be politically correct has undermined proper dealing with this threat
the public pressure to avoid alarming the ignorant masses has also undermined proper dealing with this threat
our entire western world was put on alert last week
I have criticized by some openly and privately for alarmist views
I say
WAKE THE HELL UP
YOUR ENTIRE WORLD MIGHT SOON GO UP IN A BIG BALL OF FIRE
THESE TERRORISTS WANT TO KILL YOU, YOUR CITIES, YOUR LEADERS, YOUR INSTITUTIONS, YOUR LANDMARKS, YOUR SYMBOLS
what has escaped the national news is our unending historical support for Israel
we have kicked Palestine in the balls for five decades
we have thus insulted and disrespected the Arab and Islamic worlds
why cannot anyone talk about this link?
why doesnt anyone see this as a RESUMPTION OF THE CRUSADES ?
a 5-century impasse, and now a resumption
behind the scenes in our psyches, in our historical motives, we are battling for Jerusalem
JERUSALEM JERUSALEM JERUSALEM
MY EYES ARE WIIIDDDDDE OPEN
