That helps me understand your position better. I think trying to
reduce terrorism on our planet is very important. My objection is with
the leadership group in the USA. I think the war on terrorism is low
on this groups agenda. Invading Iraq was high on their agenda as
evidenced by the plans for such an invasion existing long before 9/11.
Whats bothersome is the overall ineptitude of this leadership group.
They don't even understand when its best to say nothing. They remind
me of the cranks who frequent the newsgroup and profess to be experts,
when they obviously arn't, subsequently never listening to those who
are.
