You know what I hear when a person on the parochial level agrees with me, and I suggest they speak out on it? "Why, I'd be a called a fascist". <BR/>I generally counter with, "What if you were called a patriot or even an American nationlilst?" If they don't go sullen with thought, I do something like spill a coffee cup so they'll remember the moment.<BR/>With a self-indulgent population, with only the moment holding meaning we must frame this threat better than we have.<BR/>Talking jingo and how we'd nuke'em is one thing, developing the message in whatever vulgate the country understands in quite another. This must be a total commitment; not all over there, but 'on the street where you live'.<BR/>Remember, Tom Sawyer got the fence whitewashed by luring his pals into the endeavor, making it an invitation. The fenced got whatewashed, his pals took a jealous interest in the job; thus they did it well.<BR/>It's one thing to send a clear message, but we must be sure that the message we send is understood without ambiguity by the people of both termini.David Barry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331007985962351381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-87514013988853512722008-06-12T01:33:00.000-07:002008-06-12T01:33:00.000-07:00I more than agree Findalis -- I wholeheartedly agr...I more than agree Findalis -- I wholeheartedly agree!

That is more than just the conventional forces the US has. But goes to all nuclear, and other WMD's the US controls.<BR/><BR/>This would send a clear message to Muslim extremists that to attack the US or its allies in any way will mean the total destruction of your lands.Findalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881549378886491540noreply@blogger.com
