Hi stockman_scott; Re "Trading on Fear".

The vast majority of this country has become so afraid of death that they will go to almost any length to avoid it. The attack on Iraq was driven by this fear. It was a coward's war, a war by a people afraid to face the reality that this planet is inherently unsafe and eventually universally fatal. So they thought that by killing a few Iraqis, at the cost of a few "volunteers", their own safety could be purchased cheaply.
