What is your solution that will work for the United States that will not result in more US deaths? Should we surrender? Just let me know.

I don't know the solution, but a lot of times it is easier to know what is not the solution. If someone asks what is the best remote, I don't have a solution. There are many great remotes out there, but it depends on what the person wants and needs. On the other hand, I don't consider the Sony 3000 a great remote. So the question "is the Sony the best remote" the answer is no.

Honestly I think it would have been better if the US was out for justice. I think the war in Afghanistan was treated correctly. I also think Iraq (now) was a none issue. Like I said before, there was no proof Iraq had any links. There was also no proof that it posed a danger. This has nothing to do with surrendering.

We sent Al Copone up the river for charges unrelated as well.

Guess he didn't do anything wrong.

I have another idea that you're all welcome to use. After the movie "Panic Room" I developed the concept of "drum roll", "Panic Theater". You got it, a combination bomb shelter/theater. Great sound isolation and guaranteed to help you ride out the most deadly attacks with the least interruption to your daily entertainment.

Thanks Thon,

We're just starting to design/build a theater that has a secret passage into the adjacent panic room. (Or as we call it to decrease fear. [Safe Room]) I'll pitch that one to the customer and see if they bite. LOL We'd really have to do some crazy sound deadening... Maybe we could just outfit them with a bunch of wireless headphones for these special moments and PIP the security cameras onto the screen.

good idea.
But I would include the lobby/bar/candy counter as well in the panic theatre (so if the hole house comes crumbling down on the area due to natural or not circumstances you have rations for a few days. Also the reinforcement works well as a sound barrier and vice versa.

Shoe,

If you are still there, I apologize for my comments earlier. I still find the phrasing of your questions to Anthony unusual, but I believe I likely interpreted them in a worse light than I should have.

I edited my earlier comments.

Thank you QQQ, I have edited some of my comments as well. I was watching the boob tube last night and one of the networks provided a short report on a pole taken by The Pew Charitable Trust. I am providing a link because I find it unbiased. [Link: pewtrusts.com].

That's a great article.

I don't have time for the whole thing right now, but it seems to clearly illustrate that the ones who are least in favor of the war on terror are those in the countries that feel the suicide bombing against the US and the Israelis have been Justifiable.

That's justifiable suicide bombings against civilians.

Justifiable against civilians who are on their way to work or maybe to visit a friend.

Suicide.

Yes, Defend them.

I did not have time to read it yet, will look over it and then will discuss it.

but it seems to clearly illustrate that the ones who are least in favour of the war on terror are those in the countries that feel the suicide bombing against the US and the Israelis have been Justifiable.

1) I don't know if they say that or point in that direction, but 8 countries (4 middle eastern) is not a good enough sample to make any such connection.

2) war on terror and war on Iraq are two completely different things. Even Bush admitted he had no proof linking the two together (obviously after the fact)

You are not fit for running my security team.

Are you blind to what's been happening in the world?

Who would you be after and what actions would you take if it were up to you?

You have to start somewhere, and Iraq is not just as good as any place to start.

It's great how so many people don't even bother to chime in or express views. I know... politics and religion.

Maybe we should just sit and wait for the next 9/11 and do nothing.

Well, if anybody didn't hear the presidents words yesterday. I suggest you listen to them or read them. The entire speech closely echoed my sentiments towards the action taken. I listened to it on the radio. Does anybody have a link to the text? Or an audio file?

I think that if you are going to have an opinion at all, you should at least be informed with the latest information.

More than words and a feeling.
