Like I say... I go for the walk quietly and carry a big stick.

Ya gots to take your licks in a world like ours. The bad guys are never 
going to dissapear.  But that doesnt mean you are supposed to arm 
yourself to the teeth, bully everyone around you with... either your for 
us or against us... allienate most of your freinds and increase the hate 
factor in the world by a factor of 10, and bomb helter skelter in a vain 
attempt to slash out at flies.

You already lost your war.... simply because you are fighting on their 
terms.  Your society is closed down 100 fold compared to a few years 
back. Your citizens are unduly frightened and cower behind the illusion 
of your armed might. The <<enemy>> has accomplished all and more of what 
he is after because you foolishly play right into his hands.

You cannot beat this enemy this way. You can only win by providing the 
rest of human kind with a clearly better alternative then the one these 
zealots have to offer.  You can only win by  winning over... not by 
beating up. 

America is strong enough...even now.. to weather such storms with 
dignity... right now America is choosing quite a different path.

Perhaps the following picture from Amsterdam will enlighten 
somewhat..... The American Embassy... Easter 2003



The wall around it was too keep angry allies from busting the place up.

This is winning freinds and influencing people eh ???  and THIS is from 
one of our best freinds countries......
