Exactly. Incidentally, I would love to see an independent Kurdistan.
Frankly, I would like to see many peoples living with other peoples greater
in population and political power than they in their own states. Indigenous
people have always been the people I am most interested in, usually.
Unfortunately, nation's with the most real estate fight the hardest to keep
it.

At this time, nothing wrong has been done by this administration since this
attack. Nothing said on this list has much chance of influencing future
results. However, the similarities between the Kenya/Tanzania and NYC/DC
attacks indicate that a war has indeed been declared on us. I don't know if
war requires more than only one side insisting upon it. We have a war facing
us directly. If it quacks like a duck...

The U.S. need not act in everyone's worst scenarios, and Islam need not blame
the U.S. for defending itself against the perpetrators. Bin Laden will
continue to inspire murder if he is not stopped. Can we do any less?
