    1. Hillary is NOT a babe.

    2. Chelsey might very well be. She was smart enough to move to the other side of the contiguous States; that alone is babe material. But then, to contrast, she's a lawyer. It's like, 49/51, but I'm not sure which side it is with the majority. Only time will tell, I'm afraid.

    3. The general idea is if you are funding the enemy, you're not helping the situation. Right or wrong, do or die, that's how it's worked in the past and that's how it works today.

    4. It's not that all these terrorists don't hate all the Europeans. ALL of the Europeans. Even the ones that haven't joined the European Union or NATO just yet. It's that right now, the vast majority of roads lead to the United States. Personally, I don't really care; I have better things to do than play games with my little Ego. But there are people who don't, and those are probably the majority right now.

    So, the Great White Fleet makes a world tour. Partially out of Marketing, partially out of deterrance. Either way, envy or fear, it combines to form hate. It's popular to hate the US.

    People hate us because we have the ability to bus kids to everyone's playground. Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Seriba, South America, Cuba, Columbia. I don't know how to spell the others. Just because we don't send tanks doesn't mean we don't have U-2's flying overhead.

    The last time we didn't have the ability to bus kids around the world, people were in the habit of Impressing our kids. Mostly out of disdain, but partially out of revenge. It's old news, but there's still some lessons to be remembered.

    Terrorism isn't going away in our lifetime. I mean, the IRA isn't bombing my hometown, but it still irks me to read or hear about it.



    The Bottom Line:

    When terrorists bomb a plane out of the air over Scotland, we don't think "Bah! That's just stiff necked Britts and drunk Scotts. Man, **** Sherlock Holmes and Britain."

    We think "Whoa! Dude, that could have been us! I mean, it wasn't; but it could have been. Christ, last week it was us when that guy rolled a load of fertilizer up to that Federal building. Oh man, that could have been Joe. Or Mary. Or our grand daughter. Dude, we gotta do something about that."

    Now, sure. It's strictly selfish. There's no question about it being selfish. We're only worried about ourselves.

    *cough*

    But we have a *really* extended family...

    Saddam should be taken to the streets of Baghdad and handed over to the Iraqi people to do with him as they see fit, in a similar fashion as what happened with Mussolini...
