Pres Bush wisely decided to locate the battleground in their home turf. LOL! Maybe the word "wisely" has a different definition in Dumbya's (never opened) dictionary! If one wanted to fight the terrorists on the home turf, at least Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan had to be at the top of the list. Not to forget Afghanistan where there are less than 10% troops than what we have in Iraq. Also, the only part of Iraq which did have some terrorist connection was the Kurdish territory, which has been autonomous since the 1991 war and has been a "no-go" area for Saddam all these years.

Ann if Bush wins a second term I would guess that you will see multiple large attacks on our soil. Bin Laden and friends want Bush in. The terrorists will use Dumbya as a rallying cry for their horrible attacks on us and many other former allies. If Kerry wins it will send the signal that we are trying to form new, stronger alliances with other nations. Your vote for Bush says "I want 4 more years of the same". Sioux

Ann, I can respect your desire to solve the terrorism problem. We have different opinions on how to solve it and I can respect those differences, but it's independent of the point being made: This country cannot be so exclusively focused on one thing, to the exclusion of the real killers. The # 1 killer of women is heart attacks, yet it wasn't UNTIL THIS YEAR the AMA released for the very first time the symptoms for women heart attacks. And this is the year 2004 too. Meanwhile, the male symptoms have been released 30 years ago. Go figure. And here's another good one: it was until just THIS WEEK that researchers for the very FIRST time released information on hot flashes showing blood pressure dropped drastically while heart rate increased rapidly to compensate. Meanwhile, heart illness is the #1 killer for women, YET this is the first year they've released any studies on women for this stuff. Absolutely amazing how neglectful the studies have been to women's #1 killer. Ann, I think even you would agree this is totally unacceptable. On a different note, I'm more worried about my Dad dieing from the flu than through terrorism. Even if I disagree with the methodology I respect the desire to tackle terrorism, but we cannot excuse this country's exclusive focus on one thing: terrorism. We also need to be focused on the other killers - especially the ones that wipe out so many loved ones. This is the point I'm making and I suspect you would agree. Regards, Amy J
