No need to get so individualistically personal about it. Hey, it's not my fault the Supreme Court has more conservatives than centrists (even though I was a Naderite. What up Nathan?) Gore would have been just as bad. So what am I supposed to do? Move to Canada? (not that there's anything wrong with Canada, but most everyone I know is here in the states)

That would send a message that "terrorism works," silly. But it's funny how much money 4 suicidal jet airliners knocked loose from the empire. Immediately, the US payed its UN back dues and the US and Europe both just announced they will spend much, much more on foreign aid and development. There will probably be some kids in some shithole somewhere who will have ObL to thank for their lives and/or for better living conditions. However, however perhaps the empire intends to recoup this money later in different ways.

Actually, those words were Ashcroft's and it was nice to see him get put in his place by the press, Democrats and Repugs alike.
After that, I felt the whole country wouldn't go all Fox News Network on us.
Why are you attributing all this nonsense to me? I think it's bad to bomb civilians and should be avoided. I think the Israeli right should examine what happened to France in Algeria and realize their dream for an expansionist, apartheid, faith-based homeland is a lost cause. Just as ObL and his bretheren should realize that resurrecting the Celiphate *ain't gonna happen* as Poppy Bush would say. I'll side with secular leftist Arabs and leftist Israelis. You can have ObL.
