OT mindmeld, I think we mostly agree.

RE: "The blame should not be placed solely on the U.S"

Agreed.

RE: "They make us out to be very evil"

Terrorists will always try to spin it to serve their own needs. Terrorism is sort of like gang warfare only much, much worse and more hightech.

As far as normal people go, the most powerful country will always have its share of critics - some of it deserved but some of it simply part and parcel of being powerful. Some of it misdirected hate.

RE: "Then use the U.S. to help them gain their freedom."

Not everyone wants our type of freedom to be imposed on them.

On a different note, if Greenspan is saying the consumer side was soft (implying the business side wasn't) and since HP said their weakness in enterprise (i.e. business side) was due to 'internal' issues, why did Cisco have a softer report, now that I think of it?

Are you still waiting to buy? I've been taking the plunge here and there (ouch).
