Worse than that, what infuriates me, and I suspect many others, is our wealth going out to terrorist countries, who then come back to bomb us. Not exactly good planning. In another time, it would be considered treason.

Many of us have to ask ourselves what role we play in sponsoring terrorism every time we fill up at the gas station. Is there any doubt that petrol dollars could be used to direct terrorism against the US?

Did you hear, btw, the Ashcroft meeting in Congress today? The chairman was defending Ashcroft's tight schedule, even before he had time to speak. They are ramming through legislation, attempting to silence any opposition in ham-handed fashion. If they aren't careful it'll backfire.

Yes, I saw that and can only think that there is a great amount of guilt on the parts of our leaders past and present in their failure to abide by the edicts laid down by our forefathers to protect America and Americans at all costs. In that regard they failed miserably on Sept. 11, 2001. There is a fervent desire on the part of our elected officials to make that right IMO.

As far as I know, neither one of these issues has been discussed anywhere?
