Agreed, but had Allah helped his joy stick level pilots to find the Congress and WH, to do correctly some basic navigation problems as to avoid the "Let's Roll" call, who would have been left alive to speak for America ?

Nadine,

Their (AQ's) biggest mistake is to not understand the culture of American democracy. The fact that we discuss, argue and even bitterly debate our responses looks from their perspective as weekness. They see patriots and weeklings and recent experience tells them that the patriots lose (Cole, Embassy Bombings).

What they don't realize is that we are all patriots and all weeklings :-) For the right circumstance we would all support discussion and diplomacy and for the right cause we would all take up arms - you, me, JohnM, CB, Karen et al.

We are sometime endlessly debating the fine points of where that line is - but we are all patriots.

John
