'hey just put some bombs on the side of the road, they sure don't like that' if we turn tail and run the next thing you know there will be hajis putting bombs on interstate 80. i don't know about the rest of you, but im sure not going to stand for that.
Are you in full control of your senses, putting bombs on interstste 80. I thought that was what the homeland security was supposed to prevent. Maybe if we monitored our homeland a little better (closed our borders, monitored our ports, watched our chemical-biological labs and our nuclear facilities, etc.), we wouldn't have so much unnecessary fear. If we had our National Guard at home instead of fighting in some unwinnable war, wouldn't you feel safer. we could put them on the border and watch for terrorists. This war is about profit, period. when will you people wake up?
