<<If we get sloppy and start blanket bombing refugies, then we will have everybody from Indonesia to the Atlantic Ocean on our list. That is what I am worried about.>> Sleep well and don't worry. We will spend years feeding the refugees before even an accidental bombing.

>> If we get sloppy and start blanket bombing refugies, then we well have everybody from Indonesia to the Atlantic Ocean on our list. That is what I am worried about<< If "we" get sloppy? Sloppy as in hitting buildings filled with innocent civilians? No, I doubt we will be nearly that sloppy. Yes, it would just so wonderful if we could simply target the newly "created" state of Terrorstan, unfortunately despite the promise of paradise, these terrorists seem to have self preservation on their minds. They don't seem to be above hiding behind women and children.

Maybe a new state will be declared in SouthWest Afghanistan/Southern Pakistan/Eastern Iran. Lets call it Terrorstan. That reminds me of theonion.com U.S. Urges Bin Laden To Form Nation It Can Attack WASHINGTON, DC— Speaking via closed-circuit television from the Oval Office Monday, President Bush made a direct plea to Osama bin Laden to form a nation the U.S. can attack. "Whether you take over an existing nation like Afghanistan or create a new breakaway republic called, say, Osamastan, the important thing is that you establish an identifiable nation-state with an army, a capital, and clearly defined borders," Bush said. "Maybe you could also sign some quick treaties to definitively establish who your allies are." The president then pledged $600 million to bin Laden for the construction of a state-of-the-art defense headquarters that the U.S. can bomb.
