While we support our troops, there is nothing more frightening than the notion of going to war with Iraq and the prospect of all the innocent lives that will be lost."

Nothing? Nothing? Imagine this.

You're on the 80th floor of a skyscraper minding your own business, doing your job. You look out the window and there's a 757 coming straight at you at 500 mph.

Or maybe this.

You're on the 90th floor of a skyscraper looking out the window. Ten floors below you are engulfed in flames. You can't get out by the elevator. You can't escape down the stairs. You're standing at this window which has been blown out by heat because it's the coolest spot on your floor and the only place you can breathe. A body falls past because someone above you has decided it would be better to jump than wait for the fire.

I think you have a lousy imagination.

Shalom.

I am new here to this forum and when I read your response to the Dixie Chicks stupid comment, I was happy to have found a great place to read a brilliant imaginative comment by you.
I wish there was some way they could read your words so they could ponder on the imagerey of themselves experiencing this horrible terrorist attack.

Celebrities are getting dummer and dummest...except lonely Dennis Miller.

Proof that Fatalie shoots her mouth off before she thinks (not saying i don't do the same from time to time).

But this is truly dumb cuz wouldn't this be the peak time for their CD sales, being they just won the big Grammy and all?

Wow, man, that's a powerful image. And sadly, true. Mind if I use it when debating America haters?

How about this.

You are on a hijacked airliner taking over by Isamist terrorists. The pilots are dead, a stewardess is dead. The plane is flying wildly, not level.You look out the window and see you are flying very very low to a body of water, then you see buildings, tall buildings, very very close.....
