After we stomp out the terrorists we can go back to our pacifist ways. Jerome, I will drink to that if you really agree to stomping out the terrorists. I will go one step further. I will lead the charge(along with you) for a Marshall plan for these areas so the root cause of all this which is hopelessness can also be stamped out. I also expect that this whole series of events make it more likely that i will end up being a liberal after this. If nothing else this death and destruction showed me how short sighted and one dimensional both conservatism and the pure form of capitalism could be. We were all too busy worry about our money and not about our own people and international politics. It is ultimately the fault of the american people(especially our leaders) that it was important to show profits and surplus than to protect the american people from what happened on 9/11. Prior to the greyhound incident yesterday i told my wife that what i feared most was that the 200 crazies were running around the US like snakes with their heads cut off and may have orders to commit random terrorism in such circumstances.. Thats what i believed the Greyhound bus thing was all about. Worried that as soon as we attack Afghanistan human bombs, machine gun attacks etc will occur. 200 crazies can take out many folks in locations all over the country. I hope our folks can get most of these guys before they do too much harm. Actually i hope i am totally wrong about this fear. Heading off to the Doctor this afternoon to have my lungs checked out. Government says the air is safe in lower manhattan. I dont take what the government says at face value. Its more important for us to be at work every day I guess than to worry about agent orange type stuff whose ramifications are years away. I hope i am wrong about that too. mike
