Did anyone think to ask him? You know, take a statement. Good thing about suicide bombers is there is now one less. Better than the old bag bombers of the IRA. Bad thing is there are many, many more ready to follow. Hopefully it went off prematurely. If he made it into the hotel that could have been terrible. I guess this is where I stand on the War on Terrorism. Even in a very, very tiny country like Israel, that is militarized and police stated to the teeth, you cannot stop these guys. Imagine trying to do this in America? The cost would be the same as Russia trying to compete with us in an arms race. It would do the same thing the Reagan era arms race did, hurt both countries economically. We are still $5+ trillion in debt with no hope of ever paying it off. The interest accrues at an enormous rate. Is that ever in the news? Why not? Do we just ignore it? It seems funny, when you look at the big picture, that the tax relief package really did not help anyone out much (the increase in my utilities easily offset any money I may get back. I would imagine the same is true for most people). $1.5 trillion that could have paid off part of our debt, that we all incurred, piecemealed out as a political tool. Yet the executives at the top of these companies pay themselves multi-millions. Crazy really. Just crazy. Er, unless you are an executive. -Gary > > The bomb exploded at 7:40 a.m. (12:40 a.m. EST) on the street in > front of the David Citadel Hotel in west Jerusalem, near the Old > City. > > http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/meast/12/05/mideast/index.html > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
