Thanks for sharing that, Doug. Here's one I got today:
"The depressing fact of these horrific acts is the simple fact that there's no solution, given the organization of these world wide, horizontally constructed terrorist cells. We can damage them and delay their actions, but like the hydra headed monster of methology, as soon as we slice off one, another grows in its place. The Islamic religion and the Muslim world is commited to destroying the United States and Israel regardless the cost to them of their lives and fortunes. For every one of their cell members willing to commit suicide for Allah, hundreds more are standing in line waiting to take their places. I'm deathly afraid that the next attack will be biological, chemical, and/or nuclear. A single vial of biological substance poured into a water supply can and will kill literally millions. That's certain to be their next move in reaction to our certain retaliation to the hijackings. This is a battle that will extend far beyond the lifetimes of both ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.
Welcome to the 21st Century"
