Though we don't see it, our society is thickly woven with these threads, and not a ramshackle frayed and incomplete patchwork. Big difference.

But if you think the don't-worry-about-terrorism thesis is viable, don't be surprised when someone like Bush is elected our next President. There is some wisdom in large numbers; read Burke. Finally, haven't we had enough of the chickenhawk thing--particularly if you knew a bit more about me. I'd gladly volunteer to extract information from Khalid Sheik Mohammad and friends, though, since it seems you liberals and libertarians are a bit squeemish about things that go on in the real world.

Invade all of their countries for we need more war to make us feel safe. Who will volunteer? Oh yeah recruitment is down. Yes, you could always author a blog to defend yourself.

Stop the aggressions, send the Muslims home and let's all get along.
