| Rpruett said: You can worm your way around war. You can't worm your way around ..... (or public danger). With people trying to take bombs onto airplanes. Killing thousands of innocent civilians and attempting to take an entire industry down in the process. I would say there is great public danger in terrorists doing what they please. Perceived threats? There are plenty of 'real threats' against us every single day.
Edit : I wonder why there was more terrorist attacks on US soil in the 90s than in the 2000s?

Yeah, Bush did such a great job stopping terrorism (if you don't count the largest attack on the American mainland in the past century). He certainly didn't have any memos on his desk or other warnings that a terrorist attack was imminent.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
