| #5 Working under the assumption that GW will be elected Nov 2nd, would it not be resonable to posit that a few car bombs or even sniper attacks in front of polling stations in a few key states where electoral college votes might affect the outcome of the election would result in ACLU and Democrat lawyers running due process complaints up to SCOTUS to invalidate the results? Democratic votes denied by the Republican war on terror! Dead democrats have been able to vote for many years. |

| #4 âIt is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain, and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims.â Abdel Rahman al-Rashed, General manager, Al- Arabiya, Dubai, Sep 4, 2004. A Muslim finally got a clue. Question is what are they going to do about it? Gentle? |

| #2 While I was sitting under my apple tree, one of it's more heavier fruits hit me in the head...I wondered what these nations would have done about "CAR" and "TRUCK" bombs in 1472? |
