JF, I think we agree more than we disagree. Where we diverge is our opinions on Iraq and the same old "vast right-wing conspiracy" theories that Democrats hypocritically spout. I'm surprised there hasn't been some terrorist act in the last two years. But the odds of another act on the level of 9/11 are slim to none. Other than the shoe bomber (who was quite an imposing figure and required eight people to take down), why do you think there hasn't been another act of terrorism here in America? Is it because our domestic security is that much better, or our intellegence operations are more effective? I doubt it. Tenchusatsu

There is no "solution", it's like trying to prevent an earthquake. This is typical of what we're seeing from the libs these days. "We have no solutions, but we don't like Bush's solution". Well, I've got news. Most of us had rather have Bush's idea of a solution (which, as it turns out, is the most reasonable conceivable course of action) than the BS the libs are spewing.

What I wouldn't do is spend $Billions attacking Iraq, where there were no terrorists, and where it's just going to piss off a whole bunch of potential terrorists. There are now...but see, they turn that around too and make the following incredible statement, which is that we'd rather fight them over there than here. Of course, there really is no here. If you examine carefully the operation that led to 9/11, the intel breakdown was so staggering...these guys were extraordinarily lucky to pull this off. It's amazing when you think about it, that two of them were seen bickering in a parking lot at the airport just before boarding one of the planes, another in flight school was not interested in learning how to land a plane, not to mention the trail of ignored alarms within the FBI. Real pros ( both the terrorists and our intel) <gg> Al
