International (Click Any Headline For Full Story) In wake of terrorist attacks, tourists staying away from Mideast despite bargain prices - 9/30/01 12:44 PM GIZA, Egypt (AP) -- One camel driver just scowls when you ask him how's business. A napping guard sprawls against the gate to the pyramids, and the tourists inside -- their trips in progress or paid for by Sept. 11 -- seem to break a smile only when they talk about going home.

Looks sort of like Hillary and Chelsea. As for the people riding the camels, I don't recognise them.

I've been wondering about this. These a-holes have just cost their fellow Arab brethren a ton of jobs. Why in the world would anyone take a vacation to Egypt now? Can Saudi Arabia even guarantee the saefty of pious Muslims on a hajj to Mecca? Perhaps this is all part of their plan, but I doubt it.

Actually, I think it could be. Didn't Hill and Chelsea go to Egypt a while back?

I wish Bush had mentioned this in his address before the house and senate to the Islamic idiots and their supporters, America haters and those that look the other way all over the world if they'd like to put the world economy into the toilet and starve to death, just keep commiting and tolerating terrorist acts.

What happens when the first nulear device goes off in America? The mid-East becomes a parking lot, oil goes through the roof or disappears, we (the whole world) all starve and freeze to death or start living in caves and eating rats and have to start taking Chinese lessons. Maybe I'm a little pessimistic here, but I tend to be a little cynical and a fatalist. It won't be a picnic for anyone anywhere. Take my wife and tell me I'm wrong. Please!

Work, money, jobs, commerce, freedom first, your chosen "spiritual choice" on your own time and between you and your chosen diety or belief second. Your god ends were my nose begins.
