Absolutely. You know I probably misspoke about the amount of damages, because I'm so angry at this kind of response. When you consider the effect this is having on the economy - the airlines, travel industry, tourism - the implementation of a huge amount of law enforcement resources on security, anthrax scares, and our justice system, I don't think it's exaggerating to think the figure could be more like a TRILLION dollar loss to our nation.

That's all collateral damage, the important aspect are the profits to those multi-nationals who supply the "war" effort.
