Reply-To: iwar@yahoogroups.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Tony- your words are right one the money. All that the bad guys need to do now is say BOO! and the nation retracts. We have to gain perspective on what has been done vs what we think might be done. They are very different things and if you let you the notion of an unthinkable futures, run your life, they bad guys have won already. Your "cry wolf" comment is right on the money. And, that self- destruct notion has an outside chance of becomming a self fufilling prophesy. If senior public officials continue to say ,"perhaps it will happen today", that feels right into the hand of the Al-Queda and their friends.

If our elected officials really had the best interests of the public in mind, and posited programs that would accrue real and long-term benefit ... would they ever get elected?
