There will be WMDs used against this nation on this nation's shores.. Our leaders have said as much. But let's forget about the WTC and pentagon and make shur those terrorists have all their paperwork in order . It is almost ghoulish how narrow a vision some folks have in here. They don;t want to admit that it could happen in there town or city. How sad. We will all pay for that indifference or should I say ignorance of their situation and how close we are to being hit again.

To: NormsRevenge, all
Your post rests upon the premise that a congressional declaration of war would somehow prevent us from protecting ourselves, correct? This has been the entire case of the opposition on this thread, and to be honest it makes no sense to me.

Please explain, in vivid detail, why this is so. Why shouldn't Congress take one day, or even one hour, to pass a declaration of war? How would a declaration of war aid our enemies???

We don't want a pacifistic response to terrorism, we want a declaration of war to go with our military response. It's the proper, constitutional response to acts of war against us. It is Congress's duty, and we demand they do their job. We want to fight and we want to do it the right way. Why is that so hard to understand? Do you really think the enemy would be happy if war was declared against them?

If someone, anyone, can answer these questions, I would be infinitely greateful. I believe this is the core of the issue.

The government whose "illegal" behavior with respect to recent terrorists attacks you so readily support is the same government who can't understand the clear prohibitions of the Second Amendment.

If and when the attacks you describe occur in my neighborhood, I am less able to protect my community because I have had to move my "ugly" rifles to Nevada from Kalifornia. This is because the Congress and the state of Kalifornia do not feel bound by the Constitution. There are dark days ahead and they are not just due to terrorists, but to people who don't believe in the supremacy of our Constitution.
