True to the rugged pioneer spirit of our great country, DC cowered for
cover again as a Cessna violated the no-fly zone. Fighter jets were scrambled to deal with this imminent threat to the security of our nation. |

I wonder how we look to people outside of the usa.
When a single Cessna airplane can cause the government to shut down and people to scramble in fear. Imagine what the people all over the world some of whom live in war zones or under daily fear of their evil governments must think of our chicken behavior... I also cant help but wonder what the men and woman of our armed services think of this. They live in danger everyday and then they see how their leaders react to a small plane simply flying somewhere it shouldn't. Disgusting !! "Paul kgyy" wrote in message oups.com...

Its totally ridiculous that the US Government allows millions of illegals to cross its borders every month while it totally freaks out when a littel Cessna comes close to Washington DC. What a complete joke. Soon Washington DC will be like Berlin... barbed wires, tanks and outposts. Fine... you can have the city, its fillled with a bunch of self promoting blowhards with no testosterone anyway. |

I didn't look that way during World War II, but it started getting that ambiance during the 90's already. No, in WWII (and up until President Kennedy started reversing it), Washington looked like a military base. The city is home and business ground to a ton of service members. Supposedly temporary munitions and other cheap military construction were thrown up on the mall and other "vacant" land. Kennedy relaxed the uniform requirements, which gave a much more civilian appearance to town. The DC heydey was around the bicentennial when they finally removed a lot of old WWII military stuff from the mall and generally cleaned up the public areas. The thing started to decline again after a few security incidents around the White House. Pennsylvania avenue was closed (for good) as well as many of the other streets around the White House. Every public building is now ringed with a variety of barricades. The real casualty has been the Washington monument which has been surrounded with construction fencing for the past year (hopefully the unveiling will be prettier than the ring of jersey wall that they had previously errected around it). Throw in the ill-conceived and Hitler-esque WWII memorial and the DC downtown is currently under a blight only surpassed from the thirties when the mall essentially was relegated to being a freight yard. |

Iflyatiger,
I wonder how we look to people outside of the usa. Same happened here in Germany. Politicos all over the world are the same. This over-reaction give John Dumb Voter a warm and fuzzy feeling - so they do it. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
