For everyone who didn't get it:

The story is true. However, my introduction of it was "tongue in cheek," a
satirical response to those who believe that there is no threat from
terrorists,
and that the Bush administration is using the specter of that threat to
deprive
US citizens of the rights and privileges enumerated in the Constitution.

I believe that there is a real terrorist threat. I believe that the
comparatively few restrictions on our civil liberties are justified by those
threats. I think that, despite some missteps, President Bush has done an
excellent job in combating terrorism since Sept 11, 2001.



Bush is really caught in the "NO WIN" situation no matter what happens. If a
plot is foiled and nothing happens (the French Airline grounding) then he is
called for over-reacting and crying wolf. On the other hand, if he does
nothing and the plane had been used as a weapon yet again, he would be slammed
for not having done something to prevent the attack. Who would have believed
and supported the President if he had recommended invasion of Afganistan prior
to 9/11 because he believed the Al Quida was planning an attack? And how many
now are critical because he saw the same threat from Iraq and opted to prevent
it?

Actually there was a programming error on your part. You omitted the sarcasm on
flag. If you omit either the sacrasm on flag or sarcasm off flag the result is
a perpetual loop.

See? I did pass COBOL in 1976.
