What the "news" article says to me, is that, because terrorists are angry

at
us, they will increase their activities....So what else is new? Criminals
are usually angry at policemen.


At what point in history did we suddenly become the world's police force?

Was
there a vote? Sounds kinda dictatorial to me.

As Bush says, this is a different kind of war. The enemy isn't sitting
inside some well defined boundary's tooling up for the battle. He is using
other peoples property to do his tooling. If the other countries can't
police him themselves, then we are going to have to do it for them. When one
of my wife's grandchildren shot a firework from my bathroom window into my
neighbors garage a couple of years ago, it was my responsibility to take
care of the damage it caused. I didn't say, "Well, Mac, (my neighbor) he's
not my grandkid, and I didn't shoot the firework, so It's not my
responsibility." He was staying at my house, and I didn't stay home and keep
an eye on him, so it was my fault that he did what he did. The same thing is
true of other countries. If they play host to OBL and his little band of
A.H.'s And they cause damage to our property, then the countrie(s) that give
them space, aid, and comfort are responsible. So we have to do something
about it.
