>> He's making the world a much more dangerous place. This is utter nonsense. What support do you have for such an ignorant statement? <font color=brown>"The Department of State is deeply concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. The Department is also concerned about the potential for demonstrations and violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests overseas. U.S. citizens are reminded to maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness." <font color=black> travel.state.gov Perhaps certain areas of the world have to become temporarily more dangerous in order that the danger to the United States is minimized (which is the case). This was a predictable prerequisite to getting control of the threat. And the administration was totally up front about it at the outset. Up front about what? Hindsight is playing tricks on you. According to Cheney and Rummy, the Iraqis were supposed to greet us as great liberators and we would all live happily ever after. Their friend Chalabi told them that. One of the problems with liberals is you are so utterly ignorant, naive, and fickle that you literally don't make sense. There is no evidence to support the world is "becoming" a more dangerous place in any systemic way. See the alert from the US State Department above, dated 29 April, 2004. I, for one, feel one HELL of a lot safer today than I did on 9/12. DaNile is a grand thing! <g>

re: the world a more dangerous place / "This is utter nonsense. What support do you have for such an ignorant statement?" Here are a couple of links. cnn.com boston.com Face it DR, the Bush "strategy" of diverting resources from the killing or capturing of al Qaeda and bin Laden, the people who actually pulled off 9/11, and ~90% of all other world wide terrorism, is a critical failure. Like cancer, if you catch and kill a terrorist group early, you can save the patient. We've not only let al Qaeda spread and multiply, our policies have made it much easier for them to spread and multiply. Most of the "war on terror" could have been over by now. John
