"But that supposes that other countries could do the same to the USA. But they had better count the number of Aircraft Carriers that they have before doing so."

That's not going to save us. As we become more and more obnoxious, people who have not done anything violent will do more and more things to strike back at us. Look at the Palistinians. Those particular human beings were not involved with the wars waged with Israel. They didn't have tanks or aircraft. Countries like Egypt, Syria and Iraq were involved. After 50 years of squeezing the Palastinians by the balls and degrading them, people are willing to give up their lives to stop it. Unfortunately the rest of the Muslim world has consistantly said that they are going after us because of our blind support. The fact that the settlements keep going on shows them that Israel has no intention of giving back the stolen land won with US weapons.

Not relevant. Bin Ladin already has the whole US after him. Why not just place USD 25 mn on Bush's head?

How long do you think Bush would survive? Not very long, methinks...

This point was raised here some months ago - just how big an amount the reward on Bin Ladin's head must be for those around him, and what deep loyalty he must be commanding in people around him that he is still not caught or dead...
