It appears to me that your post is nothing but a troll for a bunch of angry
replies... but I may be wrong.

Ignoring the problem isn't going to work.
Appeasement isn't going to work.
Sanctions aren't going to work.
Cruise missiles lobbed in from a safe distance aren't going to work.
Turning the free world into a police state isn't going to work. (1)

So what *will* work? I think we all want to know. Don't just take pot shots
at the big bad US-Israeli axis. It's old "news"(2). Let's hear concrete
proposals.

I'm glad you have broken your own moratorium Larry, I have been waiting to
ask you if you still think removing federal involvement in air safety
regulation is a good thing? Do you think a deregulated air safety regime
would have prevented the hijacks on Tuesday – or even made them less likely?
I ask this within the context of my knowledge that the air industry
effectively watered down the proposals made during the Clinton administration.



1 - I just got back from GRR where I returned my rental and picked up my
car. Spooky. Dogs everywhere, concrete barriers, no cars within 300 feet
unless escorted, rental lots relocated to far away, Way overreacting I
think, but just a harbinger of more to come, I fear.

2 - "news" in the sense that it is an incomplete and largely false picture.

Show what is false Larry. Show us.
