Thank you, Marlena, for that post. That might even awaken my friend
Lawrence.
As to Julie's point "Well, there *were* a couple of Towers......" Yes,
indeed, there were, and every life lost there, some 3000, was a murder, an
unjustified killing of a human being. So too, our murdering of 30,000 -- at
least -- innocent Iraqis. It all comes out in the wash, you see. We're
each worth 10 of them. We can come home now. Especially since the Iraqi
people and the Iraqi govenment had nothing to do with the WTC, God, what a
mess.

Hi,
Oh, if we were really at war, esp a War on Terrorism, our Commander in Chief
would have known about the deal regarding the ports (esp with his brother
Neil and all the contacts he has with the UAE)
He would be a little concerned about opening that door to a country that our
State Dept says has lots of terrorist issues. (I am posting the State
Dept.'s warning about the UAE)
Not to mention that he just nominated one of their guys to work as Maritime
Administrator...
I am beginning to believe that, yes, we are in a war with Osama and his
type--but the rest of the Islamic world? Sounds more and more like
diplomacy would and should be just fine---there are lots of creative people
in this world (just look at the dealmakers Bush has on his staff and is in
touch with!) So, maybe we should be making deals with the leaders of the
Iranians? Surely if we can buy out all the terrorists that the State Dept
says are in there so that our president claims that we have absolutely
nothing to worry about--then why not?
I just think that either our president (claiming he had no idea of this
deal) is either on a permanent vacation and his staff folk are the most
corrupt and sneaky and scary people ever to have in positions of power -- or
else the War on Terror is completely ridiculous and what we had in 9-11 was
an act of terror--and should have been dealt with in that regard ...
IF one wants to call it a War on Terror--I think it has been completely
mishandled - that the creative energy going into making deals surely could
be used to make war in a manner that does not cause such significant loss of
life, infrastructure, day-to-day worsening of all innocents--and this latest
decision simply shows that to me again--it's simply unbelievable that he
could claim that he has to spy on Americans, etc--and then open the door to
a nation that he/his people *claim* can control the fundamentalist Islamic
types in their UAE country.
Things just do not make sense. Either he is tough on Terror and is appalled
at this deal--and ends it promptly--or he has been just playing and toying
with us all along...at least in regards to the claim that concerns about
Terror in the Middle East is more than that which would cause an "act" of
terrorism--and is a "war" on terrorism. Well, again--he could just have
mentally [physically?] checked out again--kind of like how he claimed that
we were addicted to oil and then promptly flew to fundraisers in various
parts of the country the next couple of days instead of working at the White
House...(and maybe picking up on the fact that he had recommended this guy
and that this deal was underway--)
Worried about the mental health of our Commander in Chief,

U.S. State Dept. statement for travel to UAE
SAFETY AND SECURITY: Americans in the United Arab Emirates should exercise
a high level of security awareness. The Department of State remains
concerned about the possibility of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens
and interests throughout the world. Americans should maintain a low profile,
vary routes and times for all required travel, and treat mail and packages
from unfamiliar sources with caution. In addition, U.S. citizens are urged
to avoid contact with any suspicious, unfamiliar objects, and to report the
presence of the objects to local authorities. Vehicles should not be left
unattended, if at all possible, and should be kept locked at all times. U.S.
Government personnel overseas have been advised to take the same
precautions. In addition, U.S. Government facilities may temporarily close
or suspend public services from time to time as necessary to review their
security posture and ensure its adequacy.
