It is a shame that the potential death of more New Yorkers is looked upon with anticipation as some type of boon for future election results.

I do believe there is a powerful argument to be made for fully prosecuting a global war on terror, it is a shame that many "conservatives" are unable to articulate it. A loss of NY would be a loss for the Union. A loss of a huge chunk of the nation's tax base, industrial capability, and financial machinery all of which serve to keep the US globally competitive and financially stable. In fact the loss of a top 5 city would affect the US treasury's ability to to continue to fund our war effort as "cheaply" as it does now. In every war the purse strings are critical, unfortunately a lot of citizens today assume US hegemony and that we will never face financial limitations to fund our campaigns.

I would make the argument that wishing for any kind of attack to occur on US soil, regardless of an anticipated future payoff, is about the most un-patriotic sentiment a citizen can have.

I see that the ideas of capitalism and greed are blossoming nicely in Comrade Lenin's workers' paradise.

They haven't been communist for 15 years. While they were communist this problem didn't exist...

John, have you ever made an actual point?  (I mean in your whole freakin life - not just on this board)

Tibet, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan?

Taiwan, A province of China... If New York declared independance from the United States, do you think Washington would be as forgiving with them as China has been with Taiwan? (answer yes if you are stupid).

Ok, Tibet, a border country... Very different from flying half-way around the world looking for a fight.

Korea - A border country ( and puppet government )... Very different from flying half-way around the world for a fight.

Hong Kong - This is China's rightful land... They leased it to the UK, and took it back at the end of the lease... A lease they honored in full... What is your complaint here?  I don't see you getting smoked up about Panama taking the Canal back from the U.S. when that lease expired.

North Vietnam..., a border country... Very different from flying half-way around the world looking for a fight.

Stop smoking your Cheerios and learn a little geography.

Yes, you are... I couldn't have said it better if I had a month to think about it.

Thanks.

hornet...  we would get over the financial and other setbacks in a short while..  the financial and other setbacks wreaked on us by blue voters never end.   they tend to accumulate interest forever until they crush us under their weight.

just one blue state new program... some new socialized whatever... is enough to offset, in a few short years,  whatever damage to the economy vaporizing new york city would do.

So far as the country goes...  it would be a net gain.   the human misery is quite another thing.

I was just doing the math and looking at how it would affect my life... In that case, it would be a plus.

I agree wholeheartedly. However, there are things we can do to prevent an attack that would have more dire consequences than an attack itself. Pearl Harbor is a good example. Where would we and the rest of the world be today if Amercia had not suffered that attack or one like it 'til perhaps 5 or 6 years later?

How about a mutant attack on San Francisco? Is it too un-patriotic for me to wish them all turned into spineless jelly to match their character?

Hmmm. The mostly funny thing is.... That this guy was catched a year ago. In April 2006. And already was sentenced to 8 years of prison.

If to draw away from the problems of the uranium security, wich are really big in the Georgia, we can see, that all official messages about catching "enemies of Gergia" belongs to "past tense". Really, there wasn't any effective security operations scince Saakashvili's coup.

In first, this is because as any dutiful "Democracy neophyte", Saakashvili destroyed the country's securiry service. So, now, all of the operations are based on old materials. Wich were found and investigated in old, Shevardnadze times.

In second. It wasn't uranium. It was radioactive capsule from special generator, that were in use in the hill regions to keep emergency power in communication systems.

Do you see the difference between "old capsule" and "A HUNDRED GRAMMS OF URANIUM FOUND!!!"?

I bet he reads some peoples posts more than others........


I doubt many of my posts get by without being reviewed by staff.

I dunt know who you are or why you think I would treat you special, but I dunt.  Posts are posts.

But if it comes to the point where we have to babysit somone, then they just get banned.

In a roundabout way, you've reiterated my observation.

[Atoon]

Sounds like a good policy. btw- only took 7 minutes for a response, coincidence im sure:)

[Skuzzy]

Well, I do keep a score sheet of sorts.  If someone has to be continously edited, then they can find themselves being banned as well.

Why are you being paranoid?
