Go fishing.

Thank you and I mean that sincerely .... this country is so paranoid
it is it's own worst enemy

And I agree and concur wholeheartedly. Hearing Joe American from
OshKosh being paranoid about Al Queda kidnapping the local gas
jockey, or meekly submitting to having his body and luggage searched
when he takes his yearly flight to Sheboygan to visit the in-laws is
just ridiculous. When I consider Joe American's lifestyle to what I
experience here and experienced in Israel: open gunfights in the
street, tank battles in front of the complex, incoming mortar
fire....And the next day, no one is terrorized. Its back to life as
usual. Were it that Americans had such resiliance and thick skin
inside their own country. Instead of 'getting over it', which is the
ultimate power against fear, we get milked and milked by our leaders,
led by the nose all over helenback, and are an embarassment in front
of the world. Ever noticed how little 'sympathy' for 9/11 we are
getting from countries who deal with terrorism on a regular basis?
We're embarassing ourselves.

I'm not sure who this "we" is. Everyone I know has gone about their daily lives
without having to pay for a shrink. Personally, I'm not the least bit
embarrased. Ever notice what little sympathy we in America get for *anything*?
Probably because we don't need it and can take care of ourselves.
