Ratan, maybe some people are afraid to fly, but a lot of people aren't going to subject themselves to hysterical authorities [such as those who shut down and evacuated the airport because an unsecured person bypassed security, such as those who called in fighter escort because somebody smoked in the toilet and said mean things to the aircrew, such as the long lines and delays while people frisk everyone]. So they don't travel in aircraft now. I don't think I'll bother taking my trips to the USA now [they say to arrive several hours before a flight - no thanks]. Bush says "Okay, everyone, do as you always did, we can't let the terrorists win", then changes the rules and grants himself God powers to kill anyone a small majority on some secret military tribunal decides they don't like. Bush and his Dad are a bit taken by secret societies [such as the boy's clubs they are and were members of, Mason's secret handshakes, secret society and all that stuff]. It only recently occurred to me that the USA has got a strong German presence. The teutonic authoritarian streak is maybe coming out in the USA. The USA doesn't have the easy freedom of the British style. Maybe freedom is better written up in the USA system, but freedom in the Kiwi way of life is more tangible, though fading as the clammy hands of bureaucracy gradually throttles the life out of us. Incidentally, the pure arrogance of the Taleban came out in that latest interview where the young guy said people should forget the WTC attacks and that it's a USA and British problem. I have news for him, it's my problem too and it's especially his problem. They have willed the destruction of the USA, promoted it and taken a lot of actions to achieve that. That's increasingly their problem. I am still angry about Chechen 'freedom fighters' decapitating Stan Shaw [a New Zealander installing phone equipment in Chechnya] lists.partners-intl.net along with some others and leaving his head on the side of a road. I am still angry, 15 years later, over the French state terrorists [that ugly little evil criminal Francois Mitterand and his henchmen] bombing the Rainbow Warrior in my harbour. The USA must be about 4,000 times as angry over the WTC destruction. Actually, they should be about 10,000 times as angry to allow for injury. I would have killed Mitterand, Hernu, Mafart, Prieur and co if it was in my power. I am looking forwards to the execution of those involved in the attacks on the WTC and killing of Alan Beaven biz.yahoo.com Mqurice
