Your right, our air power would crush anything that moves, unfortunately even our military has not designed a better weapon than the GI.

It's really disconcerting to hear that you find nothing better than one person, with a gun, killing another person. I don't understand how that's "good thing" in general, much less something it being "better" than anything else. Sorry, I'm not religious, but I still believe that killing is wrong.

So, production stays the same, but demand increases several fold and that doesn't cause a shortage?

I do not understand this statement. Greed without regulation has nothing to do with supply and demand (If I'm wrong, tell me. I'm no economics major).

You can take two or three guys that know how to fight and take 5-8 buff guys out very quickly.

I have an idea, why don't we just put two or three Navy SEALs on every flight in, through, and out of the country? Ahem, please excuse me if I quote this part wrong, but... "Guys can we stop making up stupid scenerios."

Errr.. 50 muslim dudes on an airplane???? Doesn't that scream out terrorist attack?

I cannot believe you just said that. That is one of the most insensitive, racially prejudiced, and ignorant statements I have ever read in my entire life. You, so far as I can tell, are the worst epitome of the pompus, racist, anti-non-American thought that I have taken the time out of my busy schedule to be disgusted by. The fact that I am even replying to this comment is amazing me, as I type these very word. Where do you get off saying that a flight on which there happen to be a large proportion of people who appear to be from the Middle East (much less assuming that they are Muslim, or the other way around) constitutes a "terrorist attack"? You, my friend, are why I am ashamed to be an American.

Just a little fact there is money the kurds and the iraqi's are getting in equal amounts. The kurds have the higher state of living than the Iraqis yet each part gets the same amount of money. It isn't the money its whats being done with it.

Money's a fun thing. Did you know that in 1999-2000, Saddam Hussein offered $95 million to America to benefit "America's underprivileged children"? Kinda funny, eh? I like that kind of sense of humor (mind you, I still despise killing)...

I wish I were half as well-spoken as either Bill or Michael...
