Gas. As much as I dont like the high prices either I think if you check around you will find we dont pay any more here then they do in most other countries.
And while I dont like it. in a Free market economy buisnessess can charge what they want. If we dont like it we could always buy smaller cars or use less gass.
I heard on the radio the other day that just a 3% drop in demand would be enough to send prices tumbling.
Wonder what the percentage is of SUVs on the road today.
I'd be willing to bet its more then 3%
Bin Laden is just a figure head. nothing more.
Capturing him only means a big headline. It wont be an end to anything.
It would have all the significance of cutting the head off a Dandelion.
But since he seems to be so important to some it might be pointed out again that he could have been in our hands well before 9/11 ever happened. But it woud seem someone was too busy getting BJ's on taxpayer dime at the time to be bothered;)
