I think the sniper is just a psycho, probably American. A gas station near me was giving away free coffee w/ gas and a big verbal thank-you on Sat. evening because business had dropped off so badly. This was on the I-64, not I-95 corridor too. The Saudis fund Al Queda with infidel's gas money. If it is the terrorists, then they are getting an unintentended consequence.

If the al-Qaida followed your logic, they wouldn't attack commercial airliners, because they'd be afraid of declining sales of jet fuel.

Wouldn't you agree?

Do you believe that air travel is up or down since 9/11/2001?

Do you believe jet fuel consumption is up or down since 9/11/2001?

gas station... giving away free coffee w/ gas and a big verbal thank-you...because business had dropped off so badly

I was very deeply touched by the Guardian Angels standing on the road outside of some gas stations encouraging travelers to stop, that they would pump their gas. One of them was interviewed and he was a young Hispanic man. I find it really amazing that Americans, anyone, would step up to help out strangers and thumb their noses at someone who could kill them so easily. Americans are really an in-your-face breed when it comes to anyone curtailing their freedom, aren't they? Brings tears... and an enormous amount of pride and gratitude that I am numbered among them.
