Too bad for you that won't be happening...

How can you live your life in such fear?
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.

When did America become a Nation of Frightened Wimps?
Jan. 20, 2001; inauguration day; the electoral tragedy that swept the Bushies into power.
Quote:
"... $3 $Trillion $dollars in new debt. And the one thing you can say about George Bush and this economy is, we'll be forever in your debt." Rahm Emanuel (D-IL)
$Trillions more in debt.
Perhaps hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead or displaced.
Thousands of U.S. troops dead.
10's of thousands of U.S. troops severely wounded (the cost of caring for them may exceed a $half $tril).
And we are substantially less safe, by quantification of the global proliferation of terrorists, and terrorism.

A terrorist strike using nuclear weapons "won't" happen in the US because...?

No nation can go head to head with the USA in military combat. The American resources are too overwhelming. But the world has seen how vulnerable the USA is with 9/11. So the only way you can hurt the USA is by using people already inside the country. Recruit them, train them and give them an order. Guerilla warfare is how they are gonna do it.

Right now the USA is at it's most vulnerable. Way too many soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. By the time they return the USA would be demolished. It's not if radical groups are gonna strike again. It's when they are gonna strike again. Your cowboy president with his "we will smoke them out" attitude has made the USA a sitting duck and one of the most hated countries in the world. Your saving grace is the USD. You must hope and pray the USD and economy stays strong otherwise ther USA will loose all it's allies. Cause we all love the USD. But we don't care what happens to America

Some mighty "tough talk" you got there.

Too bad extremists are only a minority in this world because the bulk of humanity see's such extremism as being very counter-productive and evil, aye TheTruthWillSetYouFree?

Sadly this is exactly right. I disagree that anyone could destroy us from within, we still have a lot of military at home, but our cowboy president, as you so accurately described him has robbed us of any credibility we ever had on the global stage. If our economy were to so much as quiver right now, we'd be done.

Luckily, he'll be out of office soon, and hopefully a rational person will be elected, and start the healing process. I have hope that America will someday be a great nation again.
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.
