Driving through my neck of the woods and then neighboring states. I'm shocked at the display of wealth size of homes. New construction thats taken place. Why the heck do we need this rebate?

White collar jobs lost? Folks can't work? If this ends up being a debt our children inherit..what a shame.

If I get a check. I'm enrolling in Spanish for the US consumer. Freaking challenging when you get into a communication barrier ordering at the NAPA counter. I'm learning to say 7.3Liter in Spanish, oil filter,fuel filter,air filter etc. Last week it was a ham club. Did not know I ordered that it was good and a change of pace and it came with fries. Never new they even sold fries at the deli.


Whatever happened to that bridge to Nowhere, Alaska?

Please don't take this wrong but you stated: "No there is no easy way out but we shouldn,t be there in first place." I will preface by saying I think our notion of what would happen was sadly mistaken. I work in the heart of the largest middle eastern population in the US and I believe the Feds grossly misjudged what the outcome was going to be. Clearly they did not understand the cultures they were dealing with.

That being said - my question, and I have not gotten an answer from quite a few pople I have asked is: "What would have been the proper response to 911?" During the previous administration we had embassies bombed and the USS Cole attacked and we chose non agression and the attacks continued. I personally think this is a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" but would be curious what others think the proper respnose would be that would have successfully warded off future attacks.

Porper response would have been to seal the Afganistan/Pakistan border, got Bin Laden, rebuilt Afganistan by burning all poppy fields, teaching them to farm, drill water wells, etc. We could have been sucessful by only concentrating on Afganistan, USA would have made a huge Bush statue and praised him. BUT, he went after ole Sadom to finish up his ole daddy's mess from Desert Storm. Sadom had absolutely NOTHING to do with 911, and Bush and Chaney knew it. 16 of 18 911 guys were from Saudi, and we didn't even slap them on the wrist, WHY, because ole man Bush still is on their payroll as an "energy marketing consultant".

I think there is some credibilty to oil being at the bottom of this, albeit not necessarily Iraqi oil. Poses the next question "would we not be better off pressing for energy independence in a rather short order? We have more than adequate resources with natural gas, coal, hydro, oil, and nuclear. We just find ways not to develop any system. If we truly were energy independent, I agree, this whole thing may have a differenct complexion.
