I don't include Iraq in the War on Terror....I don't know what ot make of Iraq...I know that the Neo Cons had it out for Sadam since 1991..and that was long before Jihad hit our radar screens.

A successfull large scale WMD terrorist attack on the USA can collapse the financial markets...and that in a nutshell turns the electric lights off...so we will all be living like Teddy Kozinski was in Montana...

It will be a crisis of Liquidity...a run on the banks...Stocks, Bonds, RE, Collectables...all will be worth virtualy NOTHING.....Only Guns, Ammo, Gold, Diamonds will have value.

This is all worse case scenrio stuff...but imagine the shock to the system if a successfull attack does occur... If you disagree with me, do you think life would go on as it has with out interuption or change...911 put the fear of God into the poweres that be, cause it came close. and that leads to>>>>>

The USA and Western Nations security forces need to use whatever means necessary to stop such an event from happening....and believe me they are....

There is no doubt that USA policy, standards and practices have helped lead to this sad state of affairs... part of it was ignoring the problems in the ME during the Cold War as the USSR was the larger meance. But what our Liberal friends have to understand IS THAT IT IS THESE VERY STANDARDS AND PRACTICES THAT KEEP THE ELECTRIC LIGHTS ON for both Conservatives and Liberals.

I knew 30 years ago that Islam was an UNSTABLE religion that had a propensity for Jihad...from its inception in 660 AD to 1683 AD Islam was an expansive religion...It was defeated at Tours in 732 AD in France by Charles Martel after taking over Spain. Islam was finally ousted from Spain in 1492. The Ottoman empire was defeated by the Polish army at the gates of Vienna in 1683. Turning back the tide of Islam in Europe until the recent immigration of Muslims into Europe.

I also knew that Mao said that the next World War would be fought between the Industrial Nations of the North and the Third World Nations of the South.

But I never put the 2 together and/or gave it much thought.

Like all Religious fanatics or true belivers, they are irreconcilable... for they are on the path that God has set out for them.. and that is to wage Jihad against America and more specifically Americans...TO KILL AMERICANS whether they are Liberals or Conservatives it doesn't matter.
