You ask the wrong question and are fully aware of it. The question is--How many attacks have there been on US soil since start of the War on Terror?? How much influence and direct control has Osama had on worldwide terror planning??--practically zero as its hard to operate from deep hiding.
The vast majority of "your friends and family" believe in what they are doing and are fully willing to sacrifice all to complete their missions. But even that is a mute point at this time---we simply cannot leave it unfinished for the chaos and long term problems it would create. Not to mention short term direct acts against US soil and/or interests.
I agree with Earl--I don't need any more taxes either to give to non producing or non contributors to our society. (and don't start on speeches about the "disenfanchised"--that is a catchy term that has no basis in reality) Payment for non-productivity is a slippery slope from which there is no return.
Oh, I love one of those Hillary commercials--that says she warned Bush over a year ago about the coming mortgage crunch. The question should be---Hillary, WHAT LEGISLATION DID YOU INTRODUCE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME--OR EVEN BETTER WHAT LEGISLATION DID ANY DEMOCRAT INTRODUCE OR PROPOSE THEN?? Its very easy to point out problems and anyone with a half brain could have seen this coming years ago when all the "creative" financing options came out. Solutions are what is needed and they should not be to bail out people who knew they would have to payup at some point or be bailed out at the expense of other taxpayers. The legislation should be to keep big business from making such deals that will eventually come due. There needs to be many new laws in the area of financing debt--whether credit card or mortgage. As we all know---large credit is extended to people that have no business getting it and will obviously default at some future point.
Didn't mean to say so much---
