. People began calling in saying that there were INS agents

I'm on the other border, there are many things going on I'm sure on both. Last night they shut down the border for the first time since all this happened. The local news reported that the Mexican government contacted the INS and instructed them to completely close the border to traffic in both directions. No one could back to the US or back to Mexico for about an hour. Then they said the power had gone out in Mexico which led them to get the border closed. I also heard there was a bomb threat and it closed the border for a short time today.

Whether George Bush has the resolve to do what must be done.

Let's hope we Americans have the resolve to bear what must be borne. If we really do "go to war" with Islamic terrorism, IMHO we can expect to suffer some of the pain we went through in WWII. . .

Many more American lives lost to bomb/gas/germ attacks.

Suspension of many of our civil liberties along with the inconvenience of security measures like in Israel.

Gasoline shortages worse than the 70's. Maybe the need for energy rationing worse than Kyoto every threatened.

An economic recession for several years, due to high oil prices and drastically reduced international trade. Those within a few years of retirement may never recover.

The guilt of killing many innocents, like we did in Dresden and Hiroshima.

Our parents/grandparents were tough enough. Are we?

That's about the size of it. I don't know if we're tough enough; I just hope we are.

Newsflash from CBS-TV, Pablo Guzman:

A bunch of men were just arrested at LaGuardia Airport. They said they were ground crew, and had credentials, but they didn't check out.

wonder what Colin Powell would suggest, if he were alive.

Yeh, huh? from me to.

Based on his previous form I'd suggest it will NOT include such phrases as "excessive force", "restraint", "provoking violence", "cycle of violence" etc. etc. as he suggested to Israel.

Yup -- I think we're going to be seeing a new-old Colin.

Realize however that (1) if the terrorist tries to overpower you and you breach the cabin by shooting, you face any liability (sky marshals would be insured and under bond); and (2) better a certainty than a chance -- if enough kamikazes who think their death sends them to Allah Land try to commandeer planes, a few failures may not mean much to the cells sponsoring them; and (3) if the pilot and copilot double as the marshals, there is little added expense.
