So, since to me, having a view that sees the world as a place to be afraid of is an ilness, perhaps those who see it that way can reconsider their situation a little? -Orn
Nah, I'd rather you changed your core philosophy to match mine... budda bump bump! I see it less as fear and more as wariness. To put it in perspective; I'm more worried about my son's grades this year then any fear Russia or N. Korea might try to bomb us soon. Intellectually I know that Obama wants a strong USA and his apparent lack of backbone is due to his naive attempt to develop a rapport with terror supporting rogue states. So far, I've seen nothing but embarrassment from this tactic. I think laying down and exposing your throat to the enemy is generally a bad idea. Putting terrorists on early release(couldn't resist, arch) and dragging our greatest war on terror assets(CIA) through the mud seems bad policy and, I hope, will end up being bad politics. Obama has condemned(to his credit) the early release but remains mute on the witch hunt going on against CIA agents. It can only have a negative effect on moral and could ruin our best chances of getting life saving information in the future. Time will tell but I think US Attorney General Eric Holder's days are numbered. There are many tire tread marked bodies in the wake of the Obama bus and I suspect Mr. Holder may soon decide to spend more time with his family. Or drop the case. dj On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 1:08 PM, ornamentalmind <[email protected]>wrote: > > "... If I believed > like R.
