How do you get a police state ? You let people in power do what they want. Its up to the voters in the US to pick canidates who will do something instead of deciding between two clones. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

Not sure how long it will take until a significant percentage of the population gets tired and decides to observe their right obligation to be involved in their government.

A: Yes! I'm an optimistic person. #1. I'm not sure as to what is right, but what they're doing now is wrong. For a start, stop using double standards, and take a look at Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, India Sri Lanka and Phillipines. The first 3 are terrorist states. The last 3 are hit by terrorism, external and internal. #2. Read #1 #3. Sadly, it might. #4. No, by any sane person who thinks all men (and women, of course) are equal. #5. :confused: Sorry, you'll have to educate me there. :-O Regards,

Yeah, Gengis Khan, ruler of the biggest empire the world has seen, had very nice foreign policies. So were the British policies, when they colonized who knows how many countries. Haven't you heard of the phrase "Might is right"? * And who says America is "ruling the world" ? Yes you know who is terroris and who is not, while super power is unaware Not-taking-any-action does not mean unaware. And on a side note, how do you say the US Govt is unaware? Do you represent them? * - I don't buy that policy myself- not for a minute.

Smaller Animals SoftwareChris Losinger wrote: that stopping terrorism by focusing on the weapons is a losing game. I'd word that as "stopping terrorism by solely focusing on the weapons is a losing game". Of course we need to look at why the terrorist wants to "terrorize" in the first place. If we (or anybody) is doing bad things that antagonize such behavior than it needs to stop, but we can't always please appease everyone. Chris Losinger wrote: are we in for a future of secret detentions of US citizens, constant fear, the binary terror alert chart For the short term (ie. our lifetimes) probably yes. Like you've said before, there are plenty of countries who have been suffering from terrorism for many decades with no signs of change. Why should the US be any different? Mike Mullikin :beer:

The current two party system along with lobbyists, PACs, campaign finance, etc... needs to change. Sadly, I doubt I'll see any significant change in my lifetime.

Here's a question to everyone who thinks GWB is doing a good job in his War on Terror (of course I will accept answers from anyone): Q: Can such a war end? 1: If so, how? 2: If not, does that mean the US will be "at war" forever? 3: Many people are using the "we're at war" excuse for restricting freedoms and/or choosing unusual interpretations of the laws regarding detainment, trial and evidence. Does a permanent state of war mean we can expect these abuses to become the norm? 4. Is this acceptable? 5. Clay or Rueben? -c

Afterall, irregardless of whether there is a "War on Terror", terrorists will still be striving to (1) limit Western cultural influence on the Middle East and return the Islamic world to "the good old days of 15 centuries ago", (2) overturn governments and install Islamic theocracies, (3) fight to establish an Islamic one-world government. (Note: even if you come up with suggestions to reduce Islamic fanatical terrorism, reduction does not equal "an end to war".) ------------------------------------------ "What happened in that Rhode Island club is shocking.
