<< my approach to terrorism is a strong global economy (Bush get an F on that) >>

How long will that take? How do you do that?

Does that improve the lives of those who live in dictatorships, where the rulers live very well and the people live in misery?

Does that stop the Arabs from teaching hatred of Christians, Jews and Hindus in Muslim schools?

<< beef up the airports and borders >>

I agree there. Our Immigration department is horribly incompetent and ineffective.

<< increase international trade >>

Imports or Exports? What countries?

<< create a national database of resident aliens including fingerprints/pictures >>

I like that. I think that is in progress.

<< and go after al-quida operatives internationally with rewards and the CIA etc >>

I agree. Including their funding.

Your suggestions, though, aren't bad. But, some will take quite a long while. How do you protect our cities, in the meantime, if you are going to stop using guards at key places?
