It’s been five years since the tragedy of September 11. I’ve been suffering from repeated sleepless nights due to the same nightmare:
The bad dream goes like this. It’s some time in the near future, 2007, 2008 or soon after. Guided by a religious fanatic whose goal was to spread American Style Democracy throughout the world, the USA has lost its financial and moral standing. It turns out that liberating people at gunpoint simply does not win hearts and minds. "Coalition" Troops were not showered with flowers as they marched into Baghdad. It was not a re-enactment of the Liberation of Paris.
In the nightmare, America stands on the brink of a Third World War.

"As France denounces the war on terror,..."
Hmmm, yep, I guess that's Al Kayda just declared war on THEM.
"that's WHY Al Kayda just declared war on THEM."
My bad. Thought I'd better correct that, since you're ridiculing type-o's now.
It makes sense that (CIA/Mossad front organization) Al-Qaeda would declare war on France. The French are imperialists too. It also plays into the Al-Qaeda plan for a world Islamic state, right?
Six: I am far from 100% certain that Nadir is correct here. However I am far from 100% that he is correct. Perhaps if Gore had won that toss-up election in 2000, a more Nadir/Buchannon-like response would have taken us more constructively forward.
We republican voters should remember that a lot of the security measures that Bush wants resemble those that Clinton sought in the 90s, and which republicans opposed. Repos at that time also opposed "nation-building", and rediculed Clinton for advocating such activities. Bush II specifically opposed this in his campaign, then changed his mind after 911.
In the meantime, to comfort Nadir, perhaps you and I should camp outside his front door and distribute Free Enterprise flyers explaining supply and demand.
I would, but I have to go to work every day.
You can camp out here if you want to. My elderly liberal neighbors would probably have you arrested, especially if you litter or take up one of their parking spaces.
