Some complain that Bush is not tough enough on terrorism, and complain about the high costs.

Here is the Office 0f Homeland Security ,which is going to be fairly tough on terrorists and costs $18 bil

whitehouse.gov

The war on terror is just beginning,with much to learn,and is therefore a form of experiment,including Iraq.

And yet the Public asks for schedules and costs as though some seer can produce those.

Could we convince the Pakistanis to go where no government has gone for 50 years, and raid remote villages.?

Apparently so, and we learn from that what it takes to root out terrorists in rough terrain- their own stomping grounds.

The final question is can the USA go the distance,pay the price, stay the course, when we have often failed in the past..

My hope is that it will not take any more major strikes like the one in Spain to be convincing.
