Hey, if you want to go back into "Ostrich" mode, by all means do so.

Just my 0.02 worth. (I mean that.)

p.s. see how little time I wasted in responding. ;)

I'm not trying to be an ostrich, but the collective effect of crying wolf over and over again in a pitch black forest is resignation and apathy. Your presentations are extremely logical and enticing (esp. regarding Osama bin Laden), but you promise a lot that (thank God) is not delivered. If your work is credible, you need to save your credibility.

I think that was .025 worth... ;-)

Sean, you have to admit that at some point, MOST of us (excepting people like yourself who have devoted a significant portion of your waking hours to this terrorism threat) need to return to our "ordinary lives" and stop worrying so much and living in fear of the terrorists.

While I understand your "Ostrich" mode comment, I think you need to put yourself in the "common man's" shoes and understand that this "doom and gloom" cloak-and-dagger war of words has now gone on for so long that it is inevitable that most of us are going to throw in the towel (as I have) and say "If it happens, it happens, but I'm not going to worry about it and let it affect my life or lifestyle."

That's just my .02 cents worth, no disrespect intended Sean.

Anyone who has questions as to what kind of battle we are fighting needs to go read the following link: http://www.1osamabinladen.5u.com/english.HTM

It is the now infamous statement made by Bin Laden in 1996 declaring Holy War on the United States. He has neither toned down his demands, nor moderated his methods. His followers are more dangerous today than they were in 1996.

We need to stay vigilant. Thank you for the work you do to keep us informed. And thank you to everyone on this thread for keeping your eyes open, and caring enough to share with the rest of us.
