Frankly, what else can Bush and Ridge do? They have three choices. Come down hard on everything suspicious, or ruffle some feathers but don't inconvenience anyone, or do nothing and laugh at the threats. No matter what happens, only the first one will clear them of accusations of not trying to protect the country.
The problem, of course, that results from taking this hard line, for which I bless them, is the same one that confronted Chicken Little. Eventually no one will believe that the sky could really fall.
But it could. We saw it fall on 9/11 and it could happen again.
Agree. I would rather inconvenience a few hundred people every now and then if it is to possibly save a few hundred thousand. And we may never know if we were saved, but I thank this President and his people for doing everything necessary to protect this nation.
