Along with the increased demand for water, increase in pollution, increase in the millions of tons of untreated raw sewerage spilled out into the world waterways...

As the civilized world is trying to hold back the hordes of terrorists, millions more are hatching each day.

How did the parents find time for terrorist activities?

<< ... or disengaging (and leaving it to the Europeans, Russians, Indians, and Chinese to deal with). >>

I look at Iraq's neighbors, who are giving the US very poor backing. Is it because they don't want to take a chance and back us, only to have the US pull out (like we did in Iraq before), leaving them to fend off Saddam's attacks by themselves?

And ...... Europe? Where are they? It's more in their neighborhood than ours?

How about China and Russia. They are neighbors of North Korea. Why are we the principle protector of world sanity, in THEIR back yard?

India is also strangely silent about world terrorism. I realize that they are fighting their own terrorist war in Kasmir, but ........

Sometimes I want the U.S. to just tell our allies in Europe, plus Russia, China, and the Middle East dictators, to deal with it themselves, and let us know when the mushroom clouds blow our way.
