I kinda agree with toastie here...I my self am tired of being sterotyped as an "american", having a huge home, a million cars, that i'm fat, lazy, eat mc Donalds all the time and watch insurmountable television. As a whole, it seems us as a nation has gotten too soft and cuddly on foreign policy since the ending of the cold war. We basically took it up the rear yesterday as terrorists used our own planes to commit this act...Theres a few questions that ponder my mind in that, sure the terrorists supposedly used ceramic or polyproplene knifes and that there was at least 2 per plane. Why would no one take a stand? I know im not the biggest guy or the quickest, but heck i'm not going to let someone indimidate me with a knife, knowing that this person now has my life in his hands. Another point is why Osama is still alive today following the origional bombing of the WTC. I doubt the american public would have minded if he "dissappeared" before the catastrophe happened yesterday. I think that these acts of terrorism have gone on long enough, we need to return to the "carry a big stick" nation, not the nice little peace keepers.
I'll get off the soap box for now, hopefully bushie can follow in his fathers footsteps and take some corrective action.
