Hi CobaltBlue; Re: "Problem is, that I have been persuaded by other arguments." Yes, and it is typical human behavior to refuse to question one's beliefs even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Re: "I have no idea where you live. Let me tell you where I live. My husband works less than half a mile from the Pentagon ... I will be infinitely grateful if Bush nips this in the bud." It would be a wonderful world indeed if the US president had the power to make you and your family safe. But the inescapable fact of this planet is that death will find all of you. That terrorists will be involved with it is highly unlikely. You should be worrying about car accidents or heart disease, not US foreign policy. If you want to obsess about what are infinitesimal terror threats, then move away from the Pentagon area. I'd suggest Canada. -- Carl
