They all have dark skin, talk funny, wear funny clothes and worship a different god. Or maybe it's the same god and they just call him a different name. Whatever.

Obviously, we haven't been made safer by it, but put more at risk. Perhaps the peaceful methods which you have described would go a lot farther towards solving the problem. Bombing people hasn't helped.<br />Agi, <br />Full body cavity search? No. But you will have to step through the full body scanners, which former Homeland Security Chief Chertoff makes a profit from.Lew Scannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788033661013005904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12881172.post-6546111783638486892010-01-05T06:48:21.062-08:002010-01-05T06:48:21.062-08:00does this mean that TSA will start doing cavity se...does this mean that TSA will start doing cavity searches before you can enter your gate?

Is our reaction to everything, "Bomb them"? <br /><br />And, for the most part, aren't we killing innocent people who had nothing to do with terrorism ---just like the 9/11 bombers who we abhor?<br /><br />We have been brainwashed into thinking we are the best country in the world. That may be true in some areas, and I do appreciate the opportunities I have had as an American, but that kind of thinking is arrogant, self-righteous, self-serving, and insulting to others. Average citizens are no better than other people. Different but no better or worse. But our leaders leave a lot to be desired.<br /><br />I often wonder how much less it would have cost us in lives (American and others) and money if instead of bombing Iraq, for example, we had made peace instead of war, by building schools, wells, and clinics, fighting AIDS, helping people start small businesses around the world.<br /><br />And isn't the question, "Why do they hate us?" a good one to answer before blindly bombing the hell out of a place? Maybe we ought to look in the mirror first.C Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053858627632648020noreply@blogger.com
