Interesting post..... It's something worthy of note, when liberals, libertarians, and conservatives, the likes of William Safire, agree. Public is scared about bin Laden now. I suspect that my background in this area is somewhat unique for this thread. I'll admit that when Sept 11th occurred my reaction was It's finally happened. But I think you were part of the group of silly liberals [including myself] that claimed, prior to Sept 11th, that the real threat wasn't from ballistic missiles launched from rogue countries, the real threat was from terrorists and rogue nations using terrorists means. We even talked about the non-sense that terrorists might use bio-terrorism or low-tech means for delivering nuclear weapons and not ICBMs. We wanted to shift funding from SDI to intelligence collection to detect impending attacks on the US. One aspect of this "emergency" is that it existed prior to the Sept 11 and it will continue to exist forever. So this Administration and subsequent ones will be able to use fear for a very long time. Watch the polls. If you see a dip in the polls for support to the Administration, I'll bet you'll see an immediate pump of fear come out. jttmab Message 16688601
