> you support the president's war on terrorism?

Not as such. I'd support a war on Islamofascism, but a war on "terrorism?" A war on a *tactic?* You'd do better to wage a war on "poverty."

> personally think it has been a bit weakly prosecuted but on the right track.

OBB view: Crank out nuclear reactors. Launch industrial infrastructure to the lunar surface to begin SPS construction on a massive scale. Dump a few billion dollars into thermal deploymerization ramp-up. Stop sendign money to ratholes oil countries. Withdraw US military presence from all nations that are not either full-up allies or we are currently at war with. Anybody else screws with us, use the lunar infrastructure to drop kilotons of lunar regolith on them at several kilometers per second.

In the end: move on. Let history record that this was a period in which the United States of The Perseus Arm began it's expansion, slightly hindered by an odd and extinct whackadoodle ideology.

In short: do not fight them by ripping ourselves to shreds. Fight them by evolving right on by them. Fight them by ignoring them. Fioght them by showing their ways to be so far backwards that the future of mankind will barely remember them or what they believed in. Fight them by showing that they are meaningless.

Yup, that's exactly what I was thinking.
