Dear Mr. President,
"Hamma Rules Apply" If you build it, we will come! All those wonderful deserts turned into a sea of glass. Pity all those dead innocents that are near by, but the power of islam will be broken.

"Moscow police report that a powerful bomb has been found near a subway station in the east of the city."
The press secretary for the Main Directorate of Criminal Police told the agency on Friday that the bomb was found on Thursday morning near the Vykhino metro station. The explosive device contained over 900 grams of TNT and had an electronic detonator.
The spokesman also said that a cache with explosives had been found in the suburban town of Lyubertsy, east of the city. A local resident found a plastic canister with a TNT block, 400 grams of ammonite and four hand grenades with fuses buried under his garage.
The man said he bought the garage in late July and was unaware of the cache. The police are working to establish the previous owners of the premises.
“Make Our Ports Safer”

“Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge met with a group of Seattle officials recently and told us he's sleeping better at night because our country is better prepared than before to defend against a terrorist attack.
When I spoke with him later, I said, "I'm glad you're sleeping better, Mr. Secretary, because I'm not."
I meant no disrespect. I have tremendous regard for Ridge and for the difficult job he is doing. But here's what keeps me awake at night: Worldwide, there are 50,000 ships, carrying 9 million containers, calling at 3,000 ports.
In the United States we have 361 river ports and seaports. Every year we get 50,000 visits from 8,100 foreign ships.
Every day 21,000 containers enter the United States. We can verify the contents of only about 4 to 6 percent of those containers. And it would require only one rogue container to bring commerce to its knees.
Imagine what would happen if a biological, chemical or some other kind of weapon arrived in one of our harbors. Every U.S. port would be affected as authorities worked to determine the extent and the source of the threat. Global trade could practically be shut down. And we don't have the systems in place to get our seaports up and running again.”
