Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "After Flight #93 and 9/11, every passenger now recognized they were combatants, not merely victims. And that fact has made the skies far safer than pre 9/11." Yes. And this doesn't have anything to do with the US military or Iraq. The way to combat terrorism is through police action.

This is not the US military, this is completely a civilian operation that has made the skies safer. Furthermore, it was free, at least in terms of cost to the US gov. -- Carl
