Truth is: We don't have the resources to make anyone who would have this mentality fearful of committing such acts.


Correct but perhaps our actions can persuade those who are not religious fanatics to remain where they are instead of joining with bin Laden and the Taliban.
Only a proper combination of bombs, troops, and diplomacy will prevent this from becoming the Western World vs. Islam.
I hope we can do it.

I get the feeling that the real winner in all this will be China.
Look at all the perks they are getting already...

Lost In The Noise - GE Warns

"General Electric's multi-year string of meeting or beating analysts' profit estimates is coming to an end. The company said late Friday that its third-quarter profits would fall about four cents shy of the current consensus of 37 cents a share because of losses stemming from the World Trade Center disaster at its reinsurance division, Employers Reinsurance. GE said that its preliminary estimate is that Employers Re will suffer about $600 million in pre-tax losses."
