No problem - the federal government will compensate NYC for its loss.

Anyone been watching the History Channel's presentation about 9/11 this week? So far it has been very informative and revealed many personal sides of the horror and devastation. Let us never forget! And definitely never forgive the barbarians who planned and initiated the attacks!

$95 BILLION...HMMMMMM.

The oil fields near Basra should just about cover it.

If the idea alone doesn't inspire the most harsh and direct of action and response---the idea of feral subhuman ingrate boy-buggerering animals marching right into the USA and slaughtering thousands of Americans---then people need to look at it this way:

Almost 1/10th of one TRILLION dollars and almost 100 thousand jobs lost----in NEW YORK ALONE.

Imagine an attack only ten times as large in scope and casualties. Imagine a very imaginable attack 100 times as big. Then do the math.

Such a catastrophe will hurt our pride, arouse our patriotism, make most people want action---until they forget about it and the media conveniently bury the images and replace them with multi-culti love-fests. But that is NOTHING compared to what such an attack would do to economies, to nations, and to civilization.

An attack costing "just" a trillion dollars, much less one costing 10 or 100 trillion in losses---this would catapult world civilization into a sort of 2nd dark age (remember, they were responsible for the first one), destabilizing governments, collapsing economies, wiping wealth and value and entire economic systems from the face of the earth. The Great Depression would look like a party in comparison.

After such a cataclysm, everyone would say, why didn't we prevent it? ANYthing would have been better than THIS. Profiling, unilateral obliteration of all things moslem, summary executions, a fight against islam identical to what we did to Nazism---NONE of this would seem extreme at all after an event like the one these people are FULLY capable of and which they will execute unless totally, unmercifully preempted.
