It's bad enough how every war, in any country, for any reason, is "fighting to protect our freedom" by default.

I do not agree with everything that has been done by the U.S. since 9/11 - but the attacks of 9/11 were done by "crazy people hating freedom". Read up on bin Laden's agenda. Personally, I'd boycott the whole Muslim/Islamic world until they get this bastard, and others like him. Bin Laden does not want us to do business with the Arab nations, and I say lets do exactly that. Then weâ??ll see what happens. Unfortunately, the majority of car-driving people wonâ??t go along with such a boycott because it might mean that theyâ??ll have to get up off their fat asses and walk more.


Alright that's cool, I wasn't aware that Giuliana was actually down there during or before the tower collapse. You do mean during or before or at least right after, right?

NYC City Hall is 2 minutes from the WTC, and Rudy was right in the thick of it. He could have been killed. Of course, ANY mayor would have had to do the same - and he was no exception.

I'm not arguing with you man. The "usual smog" comment was referring to, literally, the usual New York air pollution, it was just a light-hearted jest.
Oh, I understand. The air in NYC isn't that bad - maybe you're thinking of another city. The air is now "good to moderate": AIRNow - Air Quality Conditions & Forecasts - New York City, NY.
New York elected Giuliani twice - and the city made a remarkable comeback under his administration. I don't agree with a lot of things he stands for, but he's got a hell of a lot more guts and brains than Ron Paul.

Once again, if an equivalent act of terrorism had happened in Texas, and Ron Paul (or any Texan politician for that matter) insinuated that it was our won fault, they'd get their head blown off - and don't think for one minute that it wouldn't happpen. He knows that much!

Have a good 'un.
