i am not sure i give it 25%. i must say that i expect more attacts. you can
not wage war with an enamy that can blend in with the population with out
taking some hits. this kind if war uses our way of life and freedoms against
us. i am not going out and buying duct tape and plastic to seal up my house.
i'll take my chances living just like i always have. if i die then i am
dead, but not afraid.
now as to war with iraq, i'd gues that the first week in march when there
is no moon. our forces are better in the dark. at the point that general
franks tells the president that they are ready, then it will happen and the
u.n. france et al will find that their opinions don't really matter.

I agree, many issues that help the common every day American like us on
this LISTSERV, are unfortunately being housed on the back shelf while we
do this war activity (which I don't 100% either agree or disagree with).
But however to me, there's a more pressing issue that could happen any
second now on our land thanks to our dear old president, and I feel
everybody isn't as protected as we think. Yes, we have developed many
things since 9/11 but we're just at 25% and still have 75% to do yet. I
don't want to scare anyone but according to me, America is like a 6
month old sleeping on a bed with faulty railings or none what so ever.
Thanks,
Anthony

You mean awaken people to the need for rights for the disabled? Naw...
I
don't think so. People's minds are consumed by two things right now -
war
and the economy. Disability rights are lower down on folks' priorities,
I'm
afraid. Let's be realistic. When the economy goes back up -- and it
will,
given the cyclical nature of things -- and there's money to spend, it'll
be
easier for the disabled to press for their rights. Not now. 9/11
changed
a lot of things, and it's rippling downwards. When Al Queda attacked
America, our outlook on things shifted drastically.
I know there's an anti-war movement going on but it's not reflected in
the
majority view in polls and Bush will have his way (as well as Tony
Blair)
and we shall have a war. I don't know what's the lesser of two evils -
Saddam browbeating his people into his armies and terrorising the Kurds
and
other ethnic groups in Iraq (and I am now willing to admit) showing
signs of
hoarding missiles, or us killing innocent Iraqis. No matter which way
we
go - war or not - innocent people will die.
What's even scarier to me is the sabre-rattling by the North Koreans.
Aren't you folks out there on the West Coast nervous?
