a sleeping giant

[kamiam]

the actions of theseSCUM reminds me of the line from Tora Tora Tora where Admiral Yamamoto said "I fear all we have done is to awake a sleeping giant" and this line fits then as well as it fits now...what these scum have really accomplished is to unite a VERY powerful people as well as most of the world against them and their sick cause.Fom their standpoint they have made a grevious error in perpetrating this dastardly act just as Japan did in WWII and they will see devastating retribution against them just as Japan did in WWII.Japan is a partner with our country and a friend of the U.S. now...I am only using this from an historical perspective and comparing these events to the situation as it exists now. The whole world will unite (I truely hope) to remove this disease from the face of the earth...my only fear is the possibility of inactive "cell groups" already within the country ready to take action...hopefully they do not have the resources to pull off what I fear most....major disastors using components of mass destruction...I'm sorry to say this but I feel it is neccessary...we need to investigate ALL immigrants,visa holders and newly naturalized citizens so as to try and stop this kind of internal terrorism...Now I am not proposing that we reinstitute "internment camps" but I really do believe that these "inactive cell groups" are not only is a possibility but I imho believe that they already exist and this government needs to do all it can to thouroughly investigate and clear all peoples within the above catagory so as to protect ALL persons living and working within the U.S. borders

Agreed. The US always seems to hesitate to take decisive action until directly provoked... what these countries often fail to see is that when we are truly hurt and comes time for us to hit back, we hit VERY hard. If it comes to war (which is inevitable really) so be it.

Well, Bush has been authorized to use "force" on the terrorists, so it shouldn't be much longer before this sleeping giant is done stretching, and fully awake.

I too agree. It seems to me that most countries do not realize how powerfull we as a country truly are,until its too late that is.
