and even the terrorism angle is a bit of a straw man I would say, because this administration has doubled the US national debt, which is a much more damning, longer lasting impediment to the USA than any one individual terror attack. The stagflationary economy we now are experiencing is happening in part due to the weak dollar which was CAUSED by our poor leadership. It will take a lot longer to roll out of this bad fiscal management and fiscal programs like the medicare drug program than it took to ram them down everyones throats.

The problem I have is with people like Greenspan. Now that he is out writing books he is singing like a bird about how Dumbya is a horrible fiscal president. Where was he THEN.

"I feel no safer now than pre 9-11."

I knew the government would always be dealing with the last threat when I had to start taking my shoes off to fly because of that idiot, Richard Reed.

Look, if a suicide bomber really wants to do it right, he can swallow a bunch of balloons of C-4, stick some more up his ass along with a binary, timed chemical-based detonator in a test tube and just BE a human bomb, undetectable, with no metal.

What we need to do is just accept that life has risks and try to minimize them without inconveniencing ourselves unnecessarily. Nobody Promised You a Rose Garden.
