Seriously, Georgia, every time I hear someone use the sort of convoluted logic that you used in that statement I can't help but have a big ol' belly laugh! If we're safer because we haven't had a major terrorist attack killing thousands since Sept. 11, 2001, wouldn't it then follow logically that we were also safer on Sept. 10, 2001? And every day, month and year prior to that (since we had never had such an attack before)? In fact, using your own logic, one would have to conclude that we've been less safe with Dubya as president than we were during an other administration since his was the only one where we had such an attack (okay, you've probably got me there....I have no doubt we have been less safe with that fool as president than ever).

What if, say, this weekend's NASCAR race comes under terrorist attack and thousands of people die in Richmond? How would that change your thinking? Obviously, it's not likely this will happen. But you don't know. Not very many of us expected those planes to fly into the World Trade Center either. So today could, for all we know, be another Sept. 10. Any day could. So to think we're safe just because we haven't had another attack of that magnitude is foolish. Especially considering the bad feelings that our actions have stirred up against us during this administration. More people hating us is bound to make us less safe, not more.
