Henry - it is the ARAB world that is following this matter and will see it to their conclusion that is where the nukes fall in place. Records get broken daily and I do believe the piercing of the American shield began with the towers in NYC being "smoked" and the plane off the NYC coast getting "knocked" out of the air, and the incapacity of the intelligence community to maintain their "intelligence" providing secrets to the world. Yes, I say Poncho Villa is lurking...Good luck Jacalyn

These people are going to get really tired of this bombing in a very swift manner I think this is a miscalculation. Adversity tends to bring people together (the Stockholm Syndrome, etc.) The reports I read from the ground are that SM is much stronger as a result of the bombing. Heck, we see it here -- Republicans who would love to chop Bill Clinton off at the knees rally round in support of him. The Serbs are doing the same thing. There are reports of writings by the fledgling Democracy movement within Serbia that the bombing has put them back 10 years by uniting all the Slavs in their hatred of NATO. Any possibility NATO had of being able to play a positive role in helping Yugoslavia progress politically is probably gone. Who will step into that power vacuum once the bombing ends (as it must some day)? Russia? Iraq? For sure not the US, France, Britain, or Germany! As long as the bombing goes on, I think SM gets stronger and stronger. Which is part of the tragedy (and stupidity) of this whole mess.

I think the last time we had an incursion into the lower 48 was in New Mexico with Poncho Villa You don't consider the World Trade Tower bombings an incursion? It was every bit as incursive as the bombing in Serbia.

Hey, lower 48 immunity don't compute. A few (2 or 3) German spies landed from a submarine on the east cost (Jersey beaches 1942?) and were court martialed and hanged, and a submarine launched Japanese plane bombed the northwest (Oregon?) in 1942. There were a few fires started by Japan launched balloons. Then there was the Black Tom explosion in 1917 (german sabotage in Jersey again). This is not even counting Canadian victory in the World Series. Now in the wider sense, the Japanese invasion of the Aleutians and bombing of Dutch Harbor was an invasion of Federal territory. Not to mention the unpleasantness at Pearl Harbor, Wake, Midway and the Philippines. Of course, if you don't want to count territories and possessions. I need not mention that these intrusions did not go unavenged 100 fold. Even Black Jack Pershing got a lot of healthy exercise chasing Pancho into Mexico, and the Marines got to visit Veracruz before world war I.
