4. You've got to be kidding.

Expect escalation of terror alerts because of the potential for retaliation. The porno scanners at the airports will be working overtime.

7. There are too many making to much $ from the "War on Terror" . . .

There is a huge private defense industry that has earned untolled billions from Iraq and Afghanistan. They will work overtime to try to find every reason they possibly can to extend the wars. And unfortunately, they have more clout that any of us.
