We can't respond to the "streets" because it will cost American lives and treasure. If we wait till we are attacked it will be too late.
This has been allowed to drag on too long. If Dubya does not act, and act soon, he is done for as a viable polititical entity. Making this a UN problem was a mistake and we should never make it again --when our vital interest is at stake we need only those allies who are willing to face the music of international opiinion.
I agree. Iraq should have been taken care of last July. Now I fear it may be too late as it's perilous to fight world opinion dominated by a mass media which refuses to give equal time to dissenters, which may mean that the opposition has actually already won and that we will have to get used to living in fear of further terrorism indefinitely. Or worse yet, the jihaddis will succeed in poisoning the entire world with bioweapons.
We are going to lose because our citizens, sheeple, think that the terrorists are doing their thing because of injustices committed by the West and America.
What the sheeple don't realize is that the Islamo-fundies want us dead or converted at ANY cost, regardless of political affliation, race or citizenship.
