[Jim Robinson]

There are close to 7,000 of your former freedom loving American brethern lying burned and crushed under tons of rubble as a result of this dispicable act of terror. Their bodies will never be recovered. Many more of your countrymen are subject to similar sudden and brutal death at the hands of the ruthless cutthroats who now move freely about us and are being trained, financed and supported by bin Laden's terrorist networks in Afghanistan and elsewhere. How many more of your brothers and sisters have to suffer the same fate before all out war is justified?

[Lurker]

All out war is indeed justified Jim.

What isn't justified is trashing the Constitution.

" How many more of your brothers and sisters have to suffer the same fate before all out war is justified? "

I keep going back and reading what I wrote. And then what you wrote. I just can't figure out where I said that war was not justified ? I surely don't feel that way. Of course I think we have to stop them. So why are you suggesting that I don't care about those who died or those that may die. I just don't get it...I really don't.

Why did you choose to reply to #445 (though your reply was unfortunately not well-reasoned but rather a pump for the bomb squad) rather than my #444? I don't have a problem with the oft-stated fact that this is a private site that belongs to you, so it's a prerogative as to what info is going to be promoted.

Yet I am confounded by the infernal works going on for so long, not only unnoticed but sometimes even applauded by some of the most honest folks around. How does this square with the real work being done in your name, here and abroad?

Speak for yourself, Jim. But I have become ashamed by what is done. Not only in government but also the "private sector" -- that which is usually a siamese twin to government and banking interests. It is a miracle that FR even exists. Frankly, I don't expect such miracles in the future.

Have you really thought about and weighed the costs in relation to where US is today? Does God approve of what has been done in your name and mine?

I empahsize again: this is a GAME and the world is at stake, IMO. When once we had favor, there is no guarantee anymore. Things change. And even if we (US) gain another temprary advantage through the arm of flesh, that is just another weight against US in the long run. I wish it were not so.

Where is this question coming from, Jim? Was it something that Revel said?
