Getting back to the original point the amount spent on anti-terrorism (again even if you don't count Iraq war spending as anti-terrorism spending) in 1st half 03 is more then that spent on anti-terrorism in 2nd half 02, which was more then what was spent in 1st half 02. Also 2nd half 03 spending will be more then first half 03, and then in 2004 the US will almost certainly spend even more fighting terrorism. That's why I say the amount spent to fight terrorism is continuing to go up, and since it is going up it doesn't make sense to say funds are being diverted away from the effort against terrorism. I don't know how to say this and make it any clearer. Anti terrorist funds, allocated for fighting the war on terrorism, that are used by the Bush administration in Iraq is a diversion of funds IMO. ted
