If you lost a friend as you say, then you should be mad as hell as our resources get soaked up in the unwinnable war that mishedlo refers while the enemy is still free. All great empires - and make no mistake that America is an empire - lose their dominance when they overeach. Get out of that God awful mess in Iraq and turn over EVERY rock in Afghanistan until the evil of bin Laden is done away with!!

You sir, are absent minded. What were Al Queda doing at Boston & JFK airports. 15 0f 19 hijackers were Saudis

Absent minded?
WTF?
If Saudi attacks us I suppose the correct response is to invade Iraq. A country that had nothing to do with anything?

Coward?
I propose we take out Al Qaeda.
Somewhere along the line we forgot the mission, who the enemy was and everything else and wasted 800 lives and $300B and all it did was stir up and recruit more Bin Laden followers as well as 100% totally destroy internationl goodwill towards the US after 911.

Bush squandered that goodwill and it will not come back for generations if EVER.

Bush is the coward. Attacking someone who is not the main enemy and telling lies to do it.

Johnson might have been asked to be there by the Saudis but the Sate Dept warned US citizens to get out. We can not protect everyone everyplace and it is high time we learn that. We should secure our own borders first. Bush has done a pathetic job at that. Once the state dept put out a message warning us not to be there, Johnson took matters into his own hands and short of invading Saudi Arabia there is nothing we can do about it. It's a tragedy. But one that could have and should have been avoided.
