Great article in the new New Yorker on this...Bush could have declared
war on Bin Laden, but he expanded it to "terrorism" with no
borders...now we don't just retaliate, but we strike first, breaking 200
years of policy...best way to not pay taxes is to farm.

Well, i am fighting this for what it's worth. I just think I'm likely
to
loose. One the dogs of war are running this thing is going to be very
hard
to stop, it's not just momentum then, but also the inevitable
retaliations
against the US mainland that will fuel the fire. Once there it's total
war
no matter what we want.
