Ok, but there are 300 million others that may not share your exceptional fortitude.

Thats their choice, so be it. There is absolutley no doubt in my mind that the same ones accusing the administration of fear mongering will be the same ones accusing the administration of not properly emphasizing the seriousness of the threat if and probably when a strike occurs.

BINGO!!! 21 dirtbags arrested in a London airliner attack today. But i guess we shouldn't worry about terroism, because according to some, its all a scare tactic to make us scared.

And from whats i'm hearing, the plan they thrawted was pretty close to going down.

This is WHY we are at war with radical Islam. If you people dont realize it now you never will. We cannot let our guard down or they will destroy us one by one. Anyone doubt they are not trying to?? We MUST stay on the offensive. Its not even an option, we have to.

Anyone wanna takes bets that these 21 arrested are all muslim?

And after yet another terror plot stopped, should we still continue to search and frisk 90 year old ladies at the airports? or can we finally search the middle eastern dudes in thier mid 20's??

Skipper-poopy-lou,

I'm not sure you really appreciate the geo-political events during the Cold War that influenced the rise of "political" Islam which is where the problem lies.

It's clear you're mighty afraid, but can you think of any times when your ability to make prudent judgements has been enhanced because of your fear?

Also Skippy, here's a chance to put your money where your mouth is.

Would you support mandatory extra security screening of young Muslim men at US airports, even if they were US citizens?

Terrorism is a fear tactic...............Boo!

Even though we have geographic distance from all this crap I cannot believe that anyone does not have some fear.... our worlds operate in many ways through fear.

On 9/11 we saw the danger and pure evil of radical Islam, how could anyone say they don't have some fear? We know they want to hit us again, just look at the UK today, they are at it again.

Well, that fear was more than manipulated to get us into Iraq.

A little fear can be good as it brings caution. A lot of fear is bad as it clouds judgement. When you're afraid you don't think, you react.

For instance, a lot of fear of young Muslim men would lead someone like you to ignore the foundations of Liberty and strip someone of their civil rights because you are afraid.

That just doesn't seem right now does it?

As an aside, I'm not black or white on all profiling...but it's a slippery slope.

Yes, i'm hearing the terroists they arrested in the UK might have been UK citizens. So yes, who in thier right mind would'nt after this? You can honestly sit here and tell me that no muslim US citizen has ties to radical Islam? Of course some do. To think some dont is crazy.

Unlike you, i have the balls to say what most Americans are thinking. We know who fits the profile of the terroists, so lets give them an extra look at the airport. I dont get caught up in the PC bull%$%$%$%$. We know who they are, lets give them an extra look, Its damn worth it to prevent would could have happened in the UK.

To date the bi-partisan 9/11 comission has given the Bush Administration failing grades on their actions to enact reasonable bi-partisan recomendations to secure the country against terrorisim.

If or when (god forbid) there is another attack on US soil, the criticism will be coming from all sides...mark my words.
