Yes, I have seen the border. I've been on the border many times.I live in TEXAS. How could I not be aware of the border? I know how long it is. I don't care, we need to do something!If we took DRASTIC action once or twice THEY would STOP coming over for fear of being shot! Drastic Times Require Drastic Action!

Did'nt think of that! KEWL!

The dairy lobby, with their stooges, Tom Daschel and Jim Jeffords wouldn't stand for it.

A couple of years? we'll all be dead! Only 40 million? Is'nt there 230 million of us?

Containment. If they drop the virus on a city you vaccinate the city and surroundings. That isn't 230 million. Its highly unlikely that everyone everywhere could be hit at the same time.

Well I guess that the attacks failed to materialize this weekend but IMHO they will come. Trying to think like a terrorist leads me to conclude that they are waiting for a slight relaxation of security. Such relaxations inevitably happen most especially when after the initial stikes nothing seems to be going on for a few days or even weeks.

As a precedent from miltary history the start of WWII was caharacterized by a brief period of intense fighting in subjugating Poland then by a "phony war" which ended in a real sense with the invasion of Norway. Still the British, French, Belgians, and Netherlanders were unprepared for the Western Blitzkrieg. The Schlieffen plan was know from the days of the Franco Prissian war and it was still executed by the Wermacht. Hopefully we will be prepared and ready when and where the terrorists launch their next strike. I for one am thinking maybe the Coast Guard should be very much augmented.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Two weeks ago you couldn't have imagined something as bad as what happened, no?

[TKEman]

This shouldn't shock anyone. Of course they want to follow up their attacks. That way they can keep the level of terror up.

[Loopy]

While you might be right from a tactical point of view, I think you are wrong from a strategic point of view. Why not make an even worse attack after you foe steps up his defenses just to invoke more terror; "See your government has done all this and still can't protect you."?

This is the only way.
