It's a lot to ask, but the citizens of this country need to put 9/11 in perspective, and realize it hasn't been and will never be a frequent experience. A one time, phenomenally successful terrorist act (from the terrorist perspective, a Super Bowl win, they terrorized the hell out of us). It's a great political excuse for virtually any political action; they can spin it, and the public will buy it. Yes, even better than the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. I have never seen my fellow Americans more scared. More "people" have died in Iraq and Afghanistan than died on 9/11. And Bush is just getting started. The folks that believe that, because you've got the power, you have to use it, are in control. And they have the excuse. They are international political evangelists. They do not reflect the American tradition of tolerance and charity. "Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws." - Plato (427-347 B.C.) Well said.......both your commentary and that of Plato's. I may be the eternal optimist but its time for Americans to wrestle back control of their country from the likes of Mr. Bush. ted
