Hey Red,

Not sure you even follow this thread anymore, but just to back up some of the things I've said... The war on terror hasn't reduced terrorist activity, it has hightened it, and what your government said about terror attacks in 2003 was either completely wrong or a flat out lie (I'll let you decide).

From the Washington Post:
State Dept. Acknowledges Terrorism Report Facts 'Wrong'

The State Department acknowledged yesterday that it was wrong in reporting terrorism declined worldwide last year, a finding that was used to boost one of President Bush's top foreign policy claims: success in countering terror.

Instead, the number of incidents and the toll in victims increased sharply, the department said. Statements by senior administration officials claiming success were based "on the facts as we had them at the time; the facts that we had were wrong," department spokesman Richard A. Boucher said.

Yeah, or perhaps they have their heads stuck so far up their ass they had no idea what the hell is going on anymore. Can you say, out of touch? At least we didn't have to correct them this time.

I'm with you on Alan Keyes. I supported his campaign in 00, I actually had the honor to meet him a couple of months back.

Looking at the positive, just having Alan debate educated many American's on our founding principles and how we should govern ourselves with discipline and sacrifice. Although, wish the major networks would've covered those debates.
