INTRODUCTORY QUESTION THAT ORIGINATED THIS THREAD: Message 18590808
MEANINGFUL QUOTE: "If seeing a "Terror Alert: High" sign on your TV screen makes you feel edgy, imagine what it's like to be living in Baghdad or Basra. For people in the United States, the odds that terrorism will strike close to home are very small compared to the chances that any particular Iraqi family will be decimated before summer."--Norman Solomon
