the cost of a dying empire. get the troops out of the middle east. none of this would be happening if we hadn't invaded them back in the early 90's.
wrt checkpoints at soft targets, how can that be paid for? or do they think people will put up with being groped everywhere? on the aircraft, people are scared to death of vaporizing at 35,000 feet. They don't have that particular fear elsewhere.
I'd like to see them try this. I really would.
