The first post of this thread was "my" pictorial take on terrorist threat alerts.

Now that it has somehow been removed, responding to subsequent quips and responses makes little sense.

However

Unlike musicmic:

I do not hold personal animus toward the knowledable opinions of the members here of long standing.

I do not stand on a foundation of quicksand and worship the monuments of smoke and mirrors so graciously provided by FOX news.

I am not the only person at the epicenter of the current unslaught of killing and loss.

I can not counter the fundamentalist beliefs that lie at the heart of of those respondsible for the current climate of never ending war.

What I do know is that the truth is so awful and horrendous that most people will never allow themselves to ever question the big lie.

I forgive people who believe the lie for it is only natural to clutch at a measure of self preservation and a noble reason for the peril they feel after watching people leap from the burning WTC building hand in hand.

I have seen the blood on the ground from terrorist bullets with my own eyes and not just from television.

I remember the photo line up of the terrorists that were on board those jets appearing only hours after the 9-11 buildings collapse. I also remember 3 of those individuals coming forward to tell us their names and pictures were falsely used since they had never left Pakistan.

I know that a fundamentalist faith is required to accept all the evidence as justification and proof of a new imperial take over of oil rich lands.

Yes God himself must have put the pristine, unscathed, unburned wallet of Atta, who was the kingpin of the Saudi terrorist pilots, atop all the debris of ground zero to let us know the truth.
