"Terrorism" is a joke. A minor threat blown out of proportion by Bush-Cheney to scare white Americans with the visage a brown bearded boogie man. It worked for Bush Sr. with Willie Horton, and it worked for George the Lesser.
Your post is dead on, however. Bin Laden said his goal was to bankrupt America. Bush's overreaction to "terrorism" and his tax cut and spend insanity is driving us to bankrupcy. We are going to have to lower spending and raise taxes, so the Chinese don't end up owning us.
I think we should bring the troops home from Iraq and put them on the Mexican border. Then we need to lower our dependence on foreign oil or we will end up being a third world country.
