Jim, you have to think the possibility the next crusade may be starting. Islamic fundamentalists versus the West. Where do Muslims' allegiance lie? How soon before France is in serious trouble? How long before a group of American school kids are slaughtered by a few radicals? Well, people have already forgotten 3000 killed while at work in three buildings. The fight underway in Saudi Arabia today is another indication there are other things at stake other than Bush and Kerry.

This is a war for the survival of western civilization. What makes it doubly serious is that both Bin Laden and Bush seemed determined to destroy western freedoms. TP

This is a war for the survival of western civilization. First, any fool can see that Bush is destroying western civilization. Western alliances are in disarray.......long time allies barely speaking. Instead of decreasing, global terrorism is on a significant upswing with events becoming bigger and bigger. The hatred between religions and nationalities is escalating......this of course is to be expected when you have a leader who has hardly been outside the country. Our economy is in disarray. Senseless dying has become the norm rather than the exception. And we have become so corrupted that people like you think this $ht is healthy. If I was a religious fanatic from a red state, I would think the anti Christ had made planet fall. Secondly, this country is in part acting out of revenge and hatred. And playing the part of the bully is starting to feel good. Never a good combo when trying to make progress. Thirdly, we are not protecting our borders but rather what at best can be called a spoiled lifestyle. We've seen how those in the red states like to live and they do not want to give it up. They'd rather step all over others. That usually signals the death knell of a civilization. Some people haven't awakened to that fact yet.* The people who need to wake up are you and your ilk. The rest of us have been awake for a while.......that's why we are not buying into your war propaganda like in times past. Many liberals can't get past the "hate Bush" stuff long enough to see what's going on. Sure looks like they love to tear down the USA too. We hate Bush because he is an incompetent, dysfunctional ideologue. I love my country but I hate Bush and Bush ideologues. They do nothing to enhance this country but instead tear it down.
