Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "I take them at their word and assume that, if they are able to achieve the capability of carrying out that threat, they will do so. And since Al Qai'da declared war upon the US as far back as 1996, it seems rather silly to quanitify they attacks they have carried out as mere "criminal activity". You may consider it mere criminality, but from their perspective, it's total war." Do you always let the other guy define the terms that describe the conflict? If Al Qaeda called it a "rugby match" would you call it a rugby match too? Do you swat flies with hand grenades? -- Carl
