Tony, re: In other words, the lowlifes killed whoever was in the WTC buildings, no regard whatsoever, and we're still afraid to injure an innocent cockroach over there. In other words, we want to model our behavior on theirs? Never mind. I understand and sympathize with your general sentiment.

Tony- >But, a retired Major rank guy said that still, we are so careful as to who might get hurt in bombing, etc., of Taliban, El Queda, etc., that it may become a demoralizing factor for US military people. In other words, the lowlifes killed whoever was in the WTC buildings, no regard whatsoever, and we're still afraid to injure an innocent cockroach over there. But know what? That's what makes us so much better than they are. Life means so much more to us than to them. >Another opinion said if Gore were president, we still might not have done anything. I doubt that we'd have done nothing. We'd probably acted nearly the same in Afghanistan. The difference though, and this is owed to Bush's unilateralist perspective, is that Gore likely wouldn't have adopted an "us-vs-them" mentality, and these slimy Islamic countries such as Pakistan wouldn't have been jumping obsequiously to our aid like they've done. I've gotta thank Bush for that, though I still cringe a bit when I hear him speak. Having said that, Bush, Rumsfeld, Stufflebeem, Fleischer, and co. have made it abundantly clear that another country's next. Who will it be? If it weren't for the fact that we've been allowing us to use their airspace, Pakistan would be a good target. Saddam's always a nice option in the eyes of the public. My pick would be Lebanon or Syria (almost one and the same, Lebanon's nothing more than a puppet of Syria, but there are probably more terrorists there). Frankly, any country that knowingly harbors any one or more of the Islamic terrorist groups (Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hizbollah, etc...) should have its government dismantled. -Z P.S.: I can go on. Really.

RE:"In other words, the lowlifes killed whoever was in the WTC buildings, no regard whatsoever, and we're still afraid to injure an innocent cockroach over there. Still, I can't complain." True, and this will come back to haunt us. Everyone loves Bushes approach but I suspect he will come underfire WHEN we get hit again. OTOH, while Bush says one thing about not profiling, the rest of the country is POed and ready to tighen up the borders, security, profile passengers...etc. The fact is that we have bent the laws so much up to now it's scary thinking of enforcing them now. Who knows what terrorist groups have set up here. We have millions in this country not accounted for. RE:"Another opinion said if Gore were president, we still might not have done anything." Actually Bush has been more liberal with the kindness and payouts than Gore may have been. Jim
