From the git-go, we entered World War 3 instead of going after al-Qaeda. The Mossad is the model for this. Are these really corporate wars we're going into hock for, using "terrorism" as a rationale? Bin Laden was in a cave in Pakistan while we took out Saddam and sacrificed thousands in the process. We have this massive intelligence organization who can't go specifically after a guy in a cave?

Every politician for the last 10 years has made sure that the terrorists have won. We changed the very way we live, because our "leaders" constantly tell us to be afraid. The correct way is to acknowledge the terrorist with one finger, and continue living a free American lifestyle. Get all of the media to agree to never air any terrorist act.

Spending more on prisons & courts than on schools and teachers is INSANE as a national policy. Three strikes... and your six feet under. Repeat offender woefully tax our system and resources, and terrorize our communities. Bleeding heart liberals, like me, you, others... should hug a tree, school, or eco friendly factory... not prisons and prisoners. Tolerance NO more for criminal genes. Priorities matter.
