John,

>Hmm, how many times have we been attacked since 911?

I've lost count. Sure you lost 1200 troops in afganistan and iraq. If you don't want to count the war (which technically has ended 1.5 years ago) it still is a couple of hundred american troops and thousands of iraqi.

Of course we've got madrid which is an inmediate result of going to war against iraq.

>Ben Laden has issued a videotape where he is basically espousing Michael Moore's talking points. Wonder who he wants for president? Vote for John Kerry - Ben Ladens choice!

He does not care. He just want to scare the citizens of the US and want to make a deep religious muslim state of the whole world where he has absolute power. I wonder what makes him different from Bush though ... < vbg >

>>- The rich getting richer and joe average getting poorer.

>It's called capitalism. The rich are the ones who create wealth by doing what they do. I don't have any axe to grind with them. I'd like to be rich too someday. I'm also Joe Average, but I don't feel significantly impacted. The economy is picking up, jobs are increasing, housing starts are up. I'm optimistic. Bush will be back for four more years of sanity.

Insanity!! I help you hoping, but reality will point otherwise.
