Then what will?

"America at War." The military and law enforcement are doing a great job but they are hindered. I've seen the movie.

I've seen the version where political parties, political careers, media distortions, treason, and apathy hand the enemy victory after being defeated in battle. Now I'd like to see the "greatest generation" version where America has the will to win the war. That ain't going to happen with politics as usual, IMO.

Now with the capture of Saddam our enemies within have a new cause: a fair trial for Saddam. More media distortions and "anti-war" demonstrations.

In this "remake" the plot thickens. Lurking behind the enemy is a foe who has stated more than once, "We can afford to lose a few hundred million citizens, how many can you afford to lose?" They've reworded it a little bit with regards to Taiwan but it's still the same serious threat. Now they have access to the technology to follow through.

Oddly, many of our citizens trade our technology to that foe for dollars ostensibly to improve that foe's well-being and make them warm and cuddly. Sure.

The military and the state and local law enforcement could not do it without cooperation from the militia. That's patriotic American civilians. Everybody else, beware. That's the way it should be.

"In my view, the stakes are much higher in the war on terror than in anything we've faced since World War II, and probably World War II as well," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Richard Myers.

Oh give it a rest! there have been, throughout FR's years, many posts about how the American people will rise up, have a bloody revolution, and the Conservatives, the REAL " conservatives ", will take over. PIPE DREAMS and childishness, which Jim has repeatedly said he does NOT want posted to FR ever again.

No one rose up to take it to the streets, during the 8 years of the Clintons' administration. They won't do so, should Dean ( or any other Dem ) upset President Bush in '04, which is NOT going to happen; especially not now.

Fiction books and movies are NOT " real " and are NOT scenarios that the average American citizenry is about to engage in. Rather, the " average " person is far too complacent, ill informed, lazy, and more ready to just accept anything and everything. OTOH, those, on FR, with the biggest mouths, who shout about " watering the tree of liberty ", are keyboard/armchair warriors...all mouth and no DO !
