I wasn't being condescending. I was merely pointing out how your views reinforce my concerns, that's only condescending if you're insecure of your position and/or unwilling to give some thought to mine.

You make my point again in this post (and it's not being condescending to point that out -- merely expedient.)

You wrote: "nor have I heard ANONE make any suggestion regarding how to ameliorate the problems that lead to terrorist actions and somehow destroy the roots of terrorism."

Exactly! Give me a candidate who has the answer and I'll vote for him or her.

In my opinion, being as polite as I can be on a keyboard, you typify exactly what I'm talking about: that Bush has so embued our national thinking with fear, that it seems impossible to even contemplate an alternative to confrontation. The fact that you write ""there is no end to it that I can see," is a condition of the disease.

There must be an end to it. One way or another, there will be.
