[Loser]

I firmly believe all government comes from, and remains closely related to, organized crime. I'm not surprised the similarities show so strongly in your stretched analogy, Dogscoff. When a better solution comes along, I'll jump on it (if I don't get too old and static first), but I don't see the dove path working, I don't see the isolationist path working, and I just don't know what else to say (Pax Schmax).

One things for sure. There will continue to be terrorists, but any government is going to think twice before backing them or giving them sanctuary. Of the rest: omelets, eggs, you know the deal.
