AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FOR TERRORISTS !!!!! Yes thanks to the PC movement that is the case. We provide preferential and preferred treatment to these terrorists. Yes that's right they come over here and get to the front of the line. I have heard that we provided assistance for them to go to airline school. There is a scholarship fund in the name of Bin Ladeen at Harvard. Over 50 % of our security personal at the airports are from the meddle east. WHITES NEED NOT APPLY !!!!! When Bush said we shall treat those nations who harbor terrorists the same as the terrorists there is one problem with that. THE US AND CANADA THANKS TO THE PC IMMIGRATION POLICIES HARBOR THESE TERRORISTS We give them the loans to open small businesses to contribute to the JIHAD while telling the descendants of those who died in World War II get lost. The transportation secretary called the airlines and warned them don't you profile Arabs rr the Justice Department will get you The only people it is ok to place under surveillance are white militias. That's politically correct RIght now these terrorists are using our Civil Rights laws and our PC fanatics to launch a reign of terror on us. We were delivered a WAKEUP CALL FROM HELL !!! DO YOU GET IT YET ???

We will survive. We will recover. I think we will try to intimidate as many governments as we can, and that can be a good thing (read Pakistan here). No one in his or her right mind wants to mess with an enraged bear (or eagle, in this case). How much pressure we bring to bear on the oil states who supply much of the money is another thing altogether. I think every sand-hill terrorist base we can identify will be hit hard... multiple times if necessary, but there are a lot of impenetrable caves, what-have-you, in Afghanistan... as the British and Soviets found out to their ultimate sorrow. And terrorists headquartered in countries which are not attacked (there will be many) will consider themselves lucky to avoid our immediate attention... Certainly, they all will reconsider the advisability of undertaking actions against us... but rather they are cowed, or enraged to take revenge, is something that depends on actions we haven't taken yet. (Including such things as whether the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is ever successfully addressed, or allowed to bubble on....) Where are terrorists? Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, UAE, Egypt, India, former Soviet Central Asia, Philippines, Indonesia, North Korea, Columbia, Sudan, Nigeria, Algeria, Libya and other African countries, Chechnya, Bosnia, etc. The State Dept. has a detailed list if you are interested. There are many places where it has been in the governments interests to tolerate or encourage terrorist camps. It has been "war by proxy". Even places (France, Germany, the US) where they have insinuated themselves into "open" societies. We - the US - will take security more seriously, and do some things we should have done a long time ago but, in the grand American tradition, we will probably also go over-board and diminish our own freedoms... the very thing Bush said the other night we were fighting to defend. I'm thinking of things like the government's heavy hand in technology and privacy issues, criminalizing the branch of mathematics called "encryption", and the Feds putting Carnivore wire-tapping machines in all ISP's network cores... the Brits and Aussies, and Canadians eavesdropping on US citizens at the behest of the US government... and us doing the same for them (and then the governments exchange the info in the Echelon program). This gets around domestic prohibitions on the CIA, NSA, etc. spying on US citizens. The loss of privacy has been steadily increasing in our society, and I'm afraid we will start to slip down that slope even faster now.
