re: We should be figuring out how to solve our long term dependency on oil through conservation, alternative fuels, and through increased domestic production. That's true. I'll concentrate on where we are in agreement, since we've been around the block a million times on the other stuff. Not only would it reduce our foreign dependency, it would also - 1. Lower our trade deficit. 2. Lower the COST of energy (supply/demand). 3. Free discretionary dollars for more productive uses, rather than having them "go up in smoke". 4. Create new high paying jobs in new alternative fuel industries. It's a no brainer... John

I'm not an apologist. I just don't think we should spend our lives, our reputation and our dollars trying to change the behavior of Middle East Muslims. Bush and Cheney lead my country; it's my responsibility to try to change their behavior. Prior to 9/11, I would have said exactly the same thing. But we live in a world today where Middle East Muslims have decided for whatever reason that the rest of the world is their enemy, the chief enemy being the U.S. At one time it was mostly OBL who believed that.......no longer thanks to Mr. Bush and the worse foreign policy in decades, if not in our history. The worst enemy to the American democracy is Mr. Bush.
