Deri,

    I am glad you and Lin and Betty are OK. We Yanks like to impress our
visitors, but this time it was a bit on the extreme side. I can't wait to get
the extended version of your visit. We are aware the you Brits are more
familiar with terrorist activity than we Yanks, but these incidents
overshadowed everything before it. It is a true wake up call and I believe
that whoever did this was most ignorant of the "Alamo" mentality of a person
growing up in Texas, like George W. Bush. He is not quite like the pitiful
bozo who preceded him. When Bush talks of hunting them down and smoking them
out, he means it. The "Alamo" factor is grossly underestimated by the
Mid-East types. And it has become quite sophisticated in this age of
technology. Deri, you may not have heard of the Mexican National who
committed a series of murders here in the South. He would go back across the
border to safety. A Texas Ranger coaxed him back across the border where he
was arrested and confessed. This is the type of person the terrorists and
their allies are dealing with. God bless American and may Allah have mercy on
the terrorists, because they are going to need it.

Bobby
