DTS. The intentions were to protect ourselves. I really believe this. The fear after 9/11 was palatable. We forget the mindset at the time. We were scared to death that we would be attacked with biological weapons, airplanes, trains, automobiles. Dont you remember being checked at any event that involved a large number of people. Tiny Retama Park was patting people down. We cannot just look at the situation at the present if we hope to learn. You have to remember the current mood at the time the decisions were made.

I dont really dont believe France, Germany, Russia, China, North Korea care that much about our National Security. We are the big dog. They have their own problems. They dont see us as being a target. Just as they dont see Israel's retaliation when its citizens get rocketed almost everyday from Gaza. Maybe they did not understand the panic in this country since they have experienced years of terrorism (except China). Maybe they thought we overreacted to having two jets slam into two icons of our country killing 3000 people (could have been a lot more) in an instant.

Pgardn.
It's the same exact tactics. Same thing. Different "war", but exactly the same buttons to push.
I sat in traffic for four hours on the NJ turnpike because an "orange alert" had been issued. 100+ degrees for all that time for a bogus attempt to scare us.
It's the same kind of "thinking" that claims they'll be coming here, despite the fact that they don't own a navy nor an air force.
Can't you see that we are being played?
Let's remember the honest words..."We have nothing to fear but fear itself!"
Have you noticed how many here have bashed me without bothering to read the articles I've posted? I'm still waiting for anything that's disputable to be brought forth. Other than that, this remains what it is...horse s-it.
I'm not afraid of it in the least. I wear barn boots all the time and hose them off when the day is done. There's nothing to be afraid of...
especially when speaking truth.
Here's a final thought. I don't need any protection when I'm near the bee hives, unless I go over and take the top off of their hive and stir them up.

Read the articles I've put up. Genuine Risk's "Rolling Stone" article too.

The real shame is that some would rather remain blind due to their fears than stand strong because they refuse to be cowed.
Unpatriotic???....naw...that's what once made our country great.
