<<i think before we start dropping bombs on terrorist camps we should decide on what we will do when the terrorists decide to retaliate>>

So you think we are going to carpet-bomb terroists camps? I had not heard that from any mil or gov official... why do you think that's what we will do?

Besides, you've got it backwards. The terrorists need to be afraid of what WE will do, and considering where THEY would be able to run and hide, prior to commiting more violence against US citizens.

<<but what will be our response to terrorists already inside our borders who have assimilated within society, after they pick up a gun, load it with 20 rounds and they go out on the streets shooting into crowds? >>

Many are not legally assimilted; many are not here legally under existing immigration laws. It's like gun control, if the exisitng laws were enforced, we'd all be better off.

<<it's unfortunate that the american people aren't prepared for what's in store. >>
you may be right. I think that depsite Bush's words to the contrary, many people in the US are in a dreamworld, thinkning that this terrible thing was it, and we're going to get some people for doin it, and then it will be over.

<<i want all the right-wing, war-mongering, conservatives out there to tell me what we will do when 10 terrorists already living here in the u.s. all decide to load up some guns and walk the streets shooting people. there is nothing that can be done to stop that, short of rounding up everyone that might look like a terrorist. >>

I would like the same question put to the peace-niks again. They've been asked, and their responses are terribly niave.

On another front, I think the US should get out of Saudi Arabia. We are paying a very high price for being there.
