you have the strongest nation on the earth, with the most wealth, and one of
the highest standards of living. Those rag-heads are completely incapable of
hurting your country. Yeah I know about the approx 2500 dead at the WTC and
I don't mean to make light of it but if it happened every week it would
still not bring the country to it's knees, you lose more than that on the
highways and to tobacco.

Your country is way stronger than this.



Yes, but if everyone believed this, then how could Ridge, et.al. make
such power grabs as throwing people in a dudgeon without even a mock trial?

We americans like being cuddled by out paternalistic government as we
suckle on our communal tit. With the Democraps help, Bush will protect
us all, and shield us from anyone who would challenge Cheney's big oil
deals.
