Don't agree, Spehres. Really, certainly out here in the Pacific NW, most people are very very PC. Even in Liberal Seattle, I've never even seen a thought like you suggested. Now, I can say, you can prove this for yourself. Check the ST editorial page.... If anything, folks are so PC here, they have blinders on. Bush awoke the Muslim/ Anti-Christian, Christian/ Anti-Muslim feelings that have been around so long, they have been bred into our genome. Much like the Jews endless search for a homeland, it is part of our being.

If you want to think of it in those terms, that's fine, but Bush awoke nothing that hadn't been lingering in the moments between sleep and being awake. In the case of fundamental extremist ideology, the plans had been formulating for years in that nebulous period when most nightmares develop. There is usually a bit of thrashing around while the dream matures......Kobar Towers ect..... 9/11 was inevitable regardless of who was president. You just don't like the fact that this president is taking it to the protagonist. Treating the threat as a legal matter, or running away hoping for a better result was a tiny, insignificant dimension of the overall nightmare. I've never been able to control my dreams, but I sure as heck have tried. M
