![]() Both during the republican convention and the last half of October, I'm going to try and fly so that the ATC call to land immediately will leave me and my plane at a convenient airport. It is good to know that America can fall back on patriots like you in a pinch. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com The Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com Viva Bush! weblog www.vivabush.org |

Martin Hotze" wrote Vaporizing the Mideast would
also work but the fallout would blow around and poison us as well. Jesus ... is this all you have to say? "the fallout would harm you as well?" There was intended to be a note of black humor and satire of extreme positions there that didn't get through. The greatest evil and tragedy in all of this has been the misery and suffering it has brought to the innocent. That misery and suffering is the primary fuel for the terrorist machine. -- Roger Long |

Come on Dan, I don't go far from home when fronts are moving through either.
I probably won't actually curtail my flying significantly but I'll factor this into my planning just like I do the weather. If you've followed my other posts you'll know that I'm one of the strongest advocates of the idea that bending our way out of life is playing right into the terrorists hands and encouraging more attacks. The best defense is to appear as unaffected as a society by any attacks as we do by earthquakes and hurricanes. The response should be where the rubber meets the road and our government has substituted public relations driven inconveniencing of our citizens for real action. It's just like the beginning of the war on drugs. The first response was to set up Coast Guard boats near all the major yachting centers to board and inspect yachts. No drugs were going in and out of those ports, they were all going in and out of small coves in Maine and bayous in the Gulf. The Coast Guard didn't have the resources to cover all those places so they just rousted rich, influential folks in their yachts so they would go back and report that the Guard was on the job. -- Roger Long "Cub Driver" wrote in message ...

... More than 90% of the world's wars are being fought in Islamic countries. That says a lot about Islam. Sure, CJ, in contrast with the blissful harmony in which Christian nations have lived together for the past two millennia, or even the past century. Quite honestly, I think that nuclear sterilization is an option that should be explored. While you're planning your Final Solution, CJ, keep in mind that most of the rest of the world, including much of the US, will side against you. So you'll have to exterminate far more of us than just the Muslim portion of the world's population. But perhaps that prospect appeals to you. --Gary |

![]() If we aren't to fight back, for fear of creating more terrorists, what are we to do? Sometimes "nothing" is the right answer. Sometimes, we must just accept that the price of freedom is risk. Sure, our nation is a colander. But to seal it up as tightly as would be necessary to stop terrorism would be to suffocate it. The war is not with people - it is with ideas. But ideas are what we claim to let free. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

: I am not convinced of the motivation. If we invaded Iraq because of the oil, then where is the oil? Even more ridiculous is the argument of people like Michael Moore who insist that we invaded Afghanistan because of oil, despite the fact that Afghanistan has no oil, no pipelines, and no significant production facilities. What about the opium?? |

You make several good points, Roger -- but I didn't seen any viable
alternatives in your post. If we aren't to fight back, for fear of creating more terrorists, what are we to do? To get an idea of what we're up against, i suggest reading the following link: http://www.nationalreview.com/commen...0407020030.asp They are not after us for what we do, but for what we are, and unless we are willing to put Brittany Spears in a Burka and bow toward Mecca 5 times a day, there isn[t going to be peace short of victory. -- Wm.
