RickC very good...if you saw GW's face when he was told about the WTC....you can see that Greed and Revenge are not his motivation but a real desire to protect America and it's people....Now who in the Gawd knows if he is doing the "right" thing..do you want to throw the first stone ...but he is taking a course of action that he believes is right and in the interest of the American people....

Terrorism is a direct threat to the CONFIDENCE of investors in the Global economy.....without stability there can be no confidence and without that confidence the Global economy can not thrive.... it may even fail....and with that failure everything we know and take for granted is up for grabs.....we are in uncharted waters here...nothing like this has happened before....the world is in flux.... This is the nearest thing to the Great Depression of the 1930's that we have seen...My feeling is that the American people and people in the West World in general should realize what side of the bread the butter is on......and it ain't with Bin Laden, Sodam Huessin, the Taliban or anyother supporter of Islamic Jihad... they are your ENEMY and are out to destroy everything you know or have as a way of life.....Your best bet is with ole GW and Tony Blair.....

Theres something ele that needs to be said...it seems that in the Arab world and in the Central Asian world in general only strength of arms and willingness to use them is respected....just take a long term look at the history of the region.it is filled with violence, brutality and deceit...
