Thank you Mick, I take no offense at you thinking I am simplistic in my thinking. You have a right to your opinion. Odd, I suppose, but that is exactly what I feel about the thinking of those of you who believe that turning the cheek to folks like those who hit the WTC will make them our friends. We (the free world not just the U.S.) are facing an enemy now unlike any we have seen before. March to your drummer, I'll march to mine. But in the end, if the terrorists are successful, it really won't matter too much what we think. We won't be around to think. When they start bombing our shopping centers, sniping away at our crowds, loading cars with bombs to explode in populated areas, and I think they will, you can extend your hands in peace to them. I'm sure that will work.

So be it. We disagree.
