OK, I do see your point and security measures can quickly go overboard. No way we can patrol every area nor would we even wish to do it - we are not a police state. On the other hand leaving the door open as we have has now proven to be far too dangerous and we must take certain responsible, measured precautions so that it is made as difficult as possible for WMD's to be used against our population. However, we have seen now our elected representatives of the United States Congress targeted for mass murder via the introduction of a weapon of mass destruction: anthrax. It appears this attack has failed in one objective, the killing off of our government. This attack is not as dramatic as that on the World Trade Center, but in many ways it is far worse in its ramifications. I wonder. We know that at least one of the hijackers met with an Iraqi Intelligence official in Prague, Czechoslovakia before the attacks. We know that Iraq has violated the 1991 Gulf War cease fire provisions by not only hindering but finally expelling United Nations weapons inspectors from its borders. Now this. How much more do we need to take action? It is time the United States formally declares war on Iraq.
