If the death of bin Laden allows us to step back from the brink of totalitarianism, then I'm just glad it's over. Unfortunately, the death of Hussein taught us that reconstruction can be just as expensive, in both money and lives. Can we stop being the world's police force? Would doing so reduce the fear and hopelessness that leads to terrorism? Would doing so balance the budget? - Eric /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
