Bravo Howard! You're one of the very, very few people I've heard
speak sense today!
I've heard some horribly, vengeful bloodlust today-and I have an
arabic last name. It's scary!

That there are so many war hawks-including the Weed, I find
extremely frightening. There's no such thing as a winable war
anymore-and that ain't just a lyric by Sting! I certainly do not
want to die from an anthrax attack...with the shortage of vaccine
and antibodies, all of us who are poor/ill will be the first to go
and leave the wealthy who'll be able to buy their way to safety. I
don't look forward to it.
You know, people who commit such acts do them because they feel
horribly disenfranchised and completely between a rock and a hard
place. Find the exact people responsible for this act on the WTC,
and work to make the situations better for the rest-so that they
won't feel the need to commit such acts in the future. As long as
people feel in that situation, there'll always be twice as many
volunteers to fill the shoes of suicide bombers and terrorists.
