Wow what a topic. Looks like pretty much everyone here echoed what I had said, only in more precise terms. Kuruharan definately spelled it out better than I did.

In response to Laiedheliel's forst post, 3rd point concerning the 9-11 event. I wasn't surprised, and felt we pretty much got what we deserved. Way back in Feb. of '91, I was in Frankfurt-Mainz airport, and couldn't help notice the armed gaurds running around with live ammo loaded in their guns (due to the terrorist activity in Europe throughout the '80's). we did't have stuff going on like that back in the States, and I quickly picked up on how complacent (and lax) we were in our security. I'm just surprised the 9-11 incident didn't happen any sooner.
