hah, i totally agree with zos, but i also think that the threat is actually GREATER now that saddam is out of power.. the binladen type fundamentalists have gained power because of bush's murderous ways not lost power
the bush administration wants us to forget about binladen, afghanistan, and iraq.. forget about what our flag represents to the hundreds of thousands that have lost families and loved ones, they want us to shut up, keep slaving for white collar criminals and go shopping.
Ga, it is true that there is plenty of ineptness in the government but don't you think that there is a full spectrum of folks? and that maybe the few that have a greedy agenda for power can USE some of that ineptitude for thier own gain? what makes you think that an evil dictatorship would want everyone around them to be really sharp?
