First, my post was to enlighten you on the increase in size of government
by the supposedly conservative GWB. As for my approach to fighting
terrorism, I will begin with bin Laden, bin Laden, bin Laden. This is a
man who *has* attacked this great country, and is still out there
somewhere making a mockery of our power. Remember back to shortly after
9/11, when we had the support of virtually the entire world to hunt down
this terrorist, what did GWB do? He makes a bone-headed statement, "I
don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's
not that important. It's not our priority," and invades Iraq, thereby
fracturing the world's resolve and creating the next, great terrorist
training camp.

As for the domestic front, the next time you take of your shoes, and watch
your wife get patted down to board an airplane, look to see if they have
added a simple cockpit bulkhead to that airplane. No? Then I say, all
the domestic procedures against terrorism are just bureaucratic BS,
placed upon this country's citizens. Perhaps, this will make my feelings
clearer. While the threat from terrorism has always been real, I feel
it's threat is considerably smaller than the threat of government running
amuck.

Wow.....What a profound and 'to the point' statement! How true!!!!
I agree.
