Sgt. Pepper:

Chickenhawks ? I was referring to Amsterdam and Psycho. I read this board periodically.

I??d be shooting back, because what else are you going to do? That??s the way it goes. The bad thing is promoting it. It didn??t strike me that you??ve been promoting it, or showing some kind of admiration for that kind of action, as it does in Amsterdam??s or Psycho??s choice of words. Or in Pres. Bush??s words.

The government should have gotten the situation under control quicker, it would have cut down on the number of incidents. Shoot to kill wouldn??t have to be a by-word. Violence feeds violence.

How come in four years the Bushies haven??t gotten better prepared to deal with almost any kind of disaster that could strike a major metropolitan area that requires evacuating large numbers of people, maintaining order, setting up command-and-control centers, bringing in food, water and supplies, etc., etc? Isn??t that part of the War on Terrorism?
