Although we don't see eye to eye on everything political, I have to agree that if I was on a plane and the assailants had knives or toothpicks or whatever the heck it is that these people hold up planes with, I wouldn't go down without a fight, and a victory - or I'd die trying anyways. - not to say that people on those planes didn't try hard, but I am so determined, I would win. LOL

How about you (I have no say in this for I'm Canadian) just pick someone besides Bush or Kerry? There are other people running for president, they just don't have lots of publicity. *proudly shows her anti-bush pin* That caused a lot of trouble down in Seattle. :D:D Haha... xDeadx

deadly-You must've been in the conservative part of Seattle, because there are several Kerry supporters in the area. Not to say I'm one of them, but I'm not a Bush supporter either. GOG, I think this post was in response to me, and I do see where you're coming from. I don't think that anyone is saying we tuck tail and run, and that's the solution. From what I'm reading, it seems like you're saying we're too deep in the crap, and now any action but to wade through it would make us look weak. Maybe. But it's like you mentioned about Russia and other circumstances, obviously our military presence isn't preventing these types of things from happening. Maybe Osama IS waiting for us to retreat so he can declare us pussies. It's hard to say, but what would it take to solve the issue? It is, in essence, another Vietnam. I don't see that that circumstance put us at much of a disadvantage in the end. It's unfortunate that our country didn't support the troops then, and I'm not sure that people still have that same mentality. We seem to back our troops a lot more often now and place the blame on government a lot more than in the 70's. Anyway, I do enjoy your perspective, and I think you have valid points. I guess we'll all find out what happens in November.
