" Size 38 long "... With the Bush administration its one size fits all.

Your line of thinking concludes that the end of Iraq (as it is now constructed) will bring an end to terrorism. As I would view it, the Iraqi problem and the terrorist problem are are entirely separate and different from each other.

Recall that Bin Laden also called for destruction of Sadamm's government. And its unlikely that they support each other. Bush keeps trying to make a linkage between international terrorism and Sadamm. Whereas they are both terrorists, they have different objectives, and different end games in mind.

Even after Sadamm falls there will continued threats from Muslim fundamentalists that view the current jihad against the west as the new crusades.

Neither parachutes, charcoal filters, nor kelvar suits will be of much use if the new form of modern terrorism morphs into realm of high tech.

But if you insist on protecting yourself I might suggest one of those new Ammani lead suits. I believe that there are still some size 38's left, on the lower rack.
