Morning rant: Election problems: Accusations are about as strong as they can get-on both sides. Democrats think they won the last election but were robbed by an erroneous vote count, by dirty pool, by the Supreme Court, by the Electoral College system. Now they act as though turn-about is fair play, and that laws do not apply and anything goes. Like outright lies and the forged documents of CBS or Dan Rather. Things have not reached the violent stage yet,except for the physical remove of Bush/Cheney signs. On the question of Al Qaida: The organization still exists and is taking credit for many recent bombings and kidnappings.Members invaded the US to implement 911, and other cell members have been found here. Can AL Qaida do damage here- are we vulnerable? Definitely vulnerable Consider Bophal and the the people affected by the explosion at one chemical plant. Consider the Texas City disaster caused by a ship carrying fertilzer. Consider the fireball effect that can be produced if one tankful of an LNG storage unit were drain into a harbor and be ignited. Consider the fallout of Chyrnoble. Consider the economic damage caused by the Exxon Valdez incident but occurring in a major port. What about the future? Two billion Indians and Chinese, who can if they wish, produce 100mm man armies. And China will one day exceed the productivity of the US. And oil supplies will run out. Can America retreat and lock up our borders for security and protection? No way- we have to participate or we will be forced to participate in world affairs. Thru large scale terrorism. Thats just to say that Kerry's idea of doing only enough to reduce terrorism to merely a nuisance is one more false hope that implies we can then reduce our military commitments and be safer. Sig
