George,

You've helped me out a bunch with programming help, and I've attempted to return the favor whenever I could.

However, in this case,I will make one last post, as this is headed in a direction I really don't want to visit.

When one of terrorists was arrested in the previous attempt at the WTC, he was told that he failed in his attempt to blow up the building and cause serious damage. His reply....He smiled and said that "Next time we will have more money and will be able to do a better job". These people are martyrs. They are taught from birth that to get killed in the name of allah is do die in the best way possible.

I have no doubt that arresting a few people will do nothing but stop the madness for a few months or years. How are we supposed to stop the terrorists, if we sit here and discuss all these rules we must fight by, while they have none.

These people must be stopped. How do they win if we cause massive damage to them? That's twisting the scenario around in your mind to justify your beliefs. They way they win is to cause us to change our behaviors, our daily way of life. If people here are scared to go to work because of them, they win. While millions here, are brought to tears watching the interview with the mom who was called by her son right before his plane crashed, there are hundreds there who are laughing about it.

Enough said........
