Those who are conferred excess power, and use it only for it's own sake, are the true enemies of the poor and minorities. The liberals of today are the center of racism and the promoters of poverty in modern America. They are cannibals, feeding on the human plague of ignorance. Destroy them, and those two phenomena fade. They have before. They will again...

steve dietrich -- Mmm... Maybe not... Are you saying that those piloting the planes on 9/11 to their own and their enemies (as they obviously perceived them)death were driven by their poverty? And all they were cowards too? This is all a very serious matter. Why not to approach it carefully and thoughtfully? It so happened that I studied in depth the Russian history. Prior to their revolution, they had a lot of terrorism. Lenin's brother was a terrorist. They were, in a sense, all living bombs too, just as the modern terrorists. All martyrs. All from (in our terms) the middle class and some even from wealthy families. All educated. All conscientiously dooming themselves to terrible death – not out of a despair because of their poverty but because of their burning sense of a gross social injustice that was oppressing their people and ruining their country. Which was a fact. And they all were devoted to the cause. They were not exploited by any religion, but were driven by conviction and their iron will, by senses of unfairness, indignity and so on. No extra potato, no recliner would stop them. So, I do agree with Mr. Powell that his and other Bushists violence is not a solution to the terrorism. But it is obvious that this person, as the president himself, as all the Bushist, is politically illiterate, and it is this that is the world's major tragedy. ag
