[HELLRAISER II]

One of our biggest problems right now is that we are perceived as the evil empire by everybody else in the world. Even our supposed allies are against us even though we were attacked by Terrorists, that tells me that they were happy we were hit. Sometimes taking care of America & Americans takes precedence over keeping the rest of the world happy.
There will come a point where Bush has to make Americans happy & safe or comply with the rest of the worlds request, either way we're in for a long drawn out nasty war if not World War III. I don't think that people screaming for immediate retaliation have thought about the reprecussions of our undeclared war.
Also we have our own Cultural & religious war going on right here in America, how can we fight Terrorism when our Politicians & our courts are more worried about the Terroists rights & hurting the Arab peoples feelings then catching the B@stards. In short America seems to be on a path of Self destruction of our own making, hopefully Bush will keep a cool head & handle it in a responsible manor. At least that is what I hope.

Well said.

When you have people concerned as to whether stopping Arabs to check IDs is immoral or unfair, then you know something is wrong.

I believe that it's long been time that Americans become more prejudiced about protecting Americans. Why should we care what others think? Yet, our cops and firefighters can't wear American flags on their uniforms because it may offend someone. The ACLU (i.e., American Civil Liberties Union) is more concerned about the rights of suspected foreign criminals than they are in avenging atrocities against Americans.

It's time we understand that Americans are more important than those who are not.
