Hi KLP; Re Bilow quotes from pre the WTC attack:

Bilow, September 9, 2001
It is not within the United States' capability to make the world perfectly safe for the United States. It is in no country's power to make the world safe for that country, nor has it ever been. Every country that focused too much effort and expenditure on reaching that mirage has bled itself dry.

The way to get along with humans is to get along with them, not to try and make sure that you're the only one with weapons. The best way to get along with humans is to treat them fairly, and be prepared to attack when necessary.

I still agree 100% with what I wrote back then. But I note that you were making out North Korea as the big bad boy back then, LOL.

I'm still arguing for exactly what I was arguing back then. All of what I wrote is still as true now as it was back when I wrote it. Building up a huge military would not have had the slightest effect on the WTC attack.

We're still too weak to make the world perfectly safe for us. My point was precisely proved by the WTC attack.
