SmilinJack: IS that the quote you used as you were watching the Twin Towers pancake down to ground zero? Oh, I get it. You think the problem went away because those bad, misdirected guys on the plane died along with everyone else. And I suppose you are still pissed Regan bankrupted the Soviet Union to win the Cold War? I want to assure you while a good move at the time, it will not work this time. I dont fear....it's time to understand it is eat or be eaten, and for some, that concept does not follow an elitist attitude. I find it amazing that I do not hear what the attacks of 9/11 equated to in terms of loss to the US and World economy. At one time, I recall there was some estimate given. I only point it out because that loss I believe as compared to the cost to the war on terror is much higher. And I might point out the immediate financial impact of 9/11 was far more reaching into the daily lives of individuals as what the government is spending now on the war. And I might also point out while you now spend another (on average) 300 bucks or so a year on gasoline, if you refinanced your home chances are you saved far more than 300 bucks a year from reduced interest rates. So, no reds under the bed. But there is a reality to deal with, and I want it dealt with rater than choosing to cover my eyes and repeat na nany boo boo until the boogie man goes away. Rick Tomlinson
