Joe D.why do I read this thread in the morning.... I have to go, but I would try to make four quick points -
1) David S - it sounds as if terrorism attacks on this country don't matter to you because, heck they won't come to a farm house in Iowa. Thats a pretty self-centered thought process. I would hope you would have more compassion for your fellow Americans who kick in taxes so that you have a nice place to live in Iowa. I find it ironic that a person with that selfish / self-centered of view - would even care about the people from other countries. The two don't go together. So - you are not self-centered or selfish, you just favor the other guys over your own countrymen. You also seem to think terrorists are after symbols and not people. They most definitely want to MAXIMIZE the deaths of people in their attacks - it adds to the impact. They don't just consider it a plus if people are around, they look and wait for the most people to be around. They could have taken down the towers at 4am. Why didn't they? They wanted a full house to hopefully murder as many people as they can. They chose the exact time those towers would have the most people in them - and the world stage would be the biggest. When they blew up the train in Spain... did they go at a time where they would be the only ones on the train. Stop sanitizing what they do.
2) Bill L - your opinions and views are extremely different than mine... I don't think I could type anything in response to them. Politics aside though - I wouldn't mind bellying up to the bar with you. (not taking anything personally.
3) Someone actually emailed me sort of a bash on George Bush this morning (Bush's resume) - how funny is that?
4) Bob Dylan must be included in the list.
