I think she's lost what little was left of her poor excuse for a mind. The threat of terrorism was oversold, and now people are noticing. Maybe she didn't get the word. OBL basically declared war on us. He said it was the duty of every Muslim to kill any American wherever found. And he got a pet cleric to issue a fatwa to that effect. How do you downplay this? Maybe she should go back to Scotland and see if she can board a plane with a crazed with a bottle of nitroglycerin. In her last thoughts, she might understand. She's neglecting something else too: This didn't start with Iraq. The 1st WTC attack was in '93. Clinton was President. In 2000, by luck, some fanatics were caught crossing from Canada to the US with bombs to blow up LAX. This is no criticism of Canada; these guys are hard to find and we got lucky. The fact is that religious fundamentalism is at a peak and one religion (or another or something mutualy exclusive) will rule (or moderate) the world within the next 40 years GAWD, I hope you're wrong! That means a terrible lot of warfare in the intervening years. And I don't WANT any of them to have a monopoly. You can be certain they will abuse it.
