>I don't characterize the Bush voters as you did above. However, I do prefer being informed to being not-informed. Engaged rather than not engaged.

Yes, but "engaged" and "informed" are subjective terms. I'm sure the people who voted for Bush feel they are both.

>All I ask for is evidence.

A smoking gun will not be forthcoming. Nor will a Perry Mason "gotcha" moment. These organizations are too intelligent for that.

>The rest of the world doesn't seem too keen on taking them down? Perhaps you're not aware of the countries that sent troops to Afghanistan. France, Germany, Spain, etc. We didn't need a global test for Afghanistan. Of course, we were attacked by an orgainization in Afghanistan. Not Iraq.

Yes, when our financial and symbolic centers were finally in flames with dead bodies piled under rubble. But where was this kumbaya attitude when the Cole was bombed? What about in '93 when Osama attacked us the first time? Is there some dead American civilian threshold we have to surpass before the rest of the world stops merely moving their lips and actually pitches in to finally rid the world of these cockroaches??

>So where do you get your information?

Everywhere and anywhere. US and international. Print, internet, tv, and radio. Liberal and conservative. I try to get all points of view and then decide for myself where in the middle the "truth" apparently lies. But one thing I've learned... I trust virtually no sources. I'm always skeptical and ask myself, "What outside forces have a hand in this report?"
