Have you never heard of firewalls and anti-virus products ?

As for wasting CPU cycles, a 'modern' PC like this one that cost me $20 ( yes
$20 ) has plenty of those to spare !

No, you have it wrong. You don't need a global police force to do it.
Criminals who have crossed borders are dealt with all the time. If
someone commits a murder in the US and then runs to England, he is not
safe. This is how it would be for the terrorists if they were called the
criminals they are.

When you call it a "war" you make them soldiers. When they are soldiers
in a cause against you the other governments can't arrest them. When you
stop calling it "war" and start calling it "crime", other governments can
arrest them. This is part of why calling it a war is such an awful idea.

You would never get me to sign up for such duty. I know my limitations.

GWB didn't mess it up already with his huge budget deficits ?

Why has the dollar dropped to 70% of its previous foreign exchange value under
Bush ?

Just what exactly do you think is broken about it ?
