What if your investments were in Clean up type companies, radation
detection companys, body bag mfgrs, coffin mfgrs, construction,
lumber, bricks, glass ect.

And who's going to pay for all this cleanup, etc.? With the rest of the
stock market in ruin and the economy crashing through the floor, the gummint
isn't going to have enough money for toilet paper in the congressional rest
rooms. When people are out of work, the federal coffers get pretty bare in
record time. And what will happen when the relatives of victims want
federal reparations for their losses, as did those of 9/11? Who will fund
that?


I think you underestimate the American people Max. You need to drive
across country and look at the almost unlimited supply of resources.

Our prime resource is people, and many of them will be out of work.

If Americans all got involved and cared like they did in WWII this
great nation can overcome anything.

Don't hold your breath. Even the vitriol following 9/11 was relatively
short-lived. The level of 'patriotism' seen in the Forties was virtually
unprecendented, and doubtfully repeated. The media have seen to that.


Like that jap said "I fear all we have done is awaken an angry giant"

What will we do that we aren't doing now? Nuke the entire Middle East, less
Israel, of course?


We are on the terrorist's like chickens on a june bug. They are very
busy trying not to get killed right now. Lets keep up the pressure.

That's all we can do. We can't find them. We can't identify the ones we
have. We have some incarcerated that aren't terrorists. But that pressure
costs huge amounts of taxpayer dollars. And to increase the pressure, our
rights as US citizens will undoubtedly be injured, if not curtailed. Is it
worth it?

It's easy to get sucker punched, its stupid to get sucker punched
twice.

If al Qaeda were intelligent, they'd allow the US to adopt a false sense of
security by curtailing any and all terrorist activity against us. After
returning to our former sense of complacency, they'd strike. Thankfully
they don't appear to be that bright. Or are they?
