"Dear JF: Well, by your statement I can tell you have never been beyond our borders." You couldn't be more wrong......I have traveled at least 26 countries including 3rd world ones. I have been to both Russia and China. I have also traveled to most of the states in the US including Hawaii and Alaska. And what I saw in those places I've never considered to be blessings or lack of blessings from spiritual beings but rather how lucky they are to have abundant natural resources and good geographic location. If such luck is accompanied by good government with a good education system and defendable borders a country will usually have flourished. I think you probably know that many of the most impoverished nations on earth are the most religious or at least controlled by religions. "Yes, we had "good times" but IMHO he lucked out there but what we gave up is MORALITY which now is coming home to roost in the form of terrorism." You sound like a devotee of Falwell and Robertson since you seem to be blaming the "MORALITY" of the country as god's reasons for the terrorists attacks. In my view that's sick......and totally without thought. "As to what I would do if I were President? haha I AINT THAT STUPID to tell YOU!! " Gee, I know I may not have proper security clearance, but if you send it in PM I promise I'll let Cheney know.. But please don't bless us anymore, the WTC was enough....

JDN, <<I have travelled and jeeped in every state except Washington, and Alaska (been to Hawaii but hiked didnt jeep) and they all have something wonderful to offer. But the most wonderful is the freedom to freely travel without restrictions, questions etc etc. My advice to you is COUNT YOUR MANY BLESSINGS. You will be happier.>> I agree with you 100%. I just came back from a 3 month trip around the U.S. and Canada (mainly US) and it was wonderful even though I was already familiar with some of the places I visited this time. I am not sure I will take vacations abroad anymore. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!. Take that aclu
