Are we safer than we were eight years ago? »
Posted By Tumultuous 3 months, 2 weeks ago in Political OpinionI'm old enough to remember Moammar Gadhafi being interviewed by Mike Wallace on "60 Minutes." It was the late 1970s. I was 13, maybe 14. Then and now, the thing about Gadhafi is that you want to like and respect him. If nothing else, his posing and preening add flash and charisma to the world stage. And how can you not appreciate a world leader so true to his Bedouin roots that he conducts state business in a tent?

But to the question. Are we safer now than we were 8 years ago? Well the answer is directly proportional (for all 2fun)to when the question is asked.
Do you think that on 9/10/2001 that most of the population would have thought that to be a silly question? We did have warning you know. It came from Osama Bin Laden himself.
He told George Bush ( Daddy Bush ) that if he forced Saudi Arabia to accept an American Army Base on Saudi soil ( during Desert Storm) he would declare war against the United States. Probably after a good laugh at the pipsqueak, the U S was able to convince the Saudi King that if they didn't accept the U S Base, most likely there would be a war fought on Saudi soil, and the country might not survive. The King got the veiled threat message and gave permission for the base. OBL declared war on the U S.
Remember Osama Bin Laden? He was that Saudi Billionaire who gave up his posh life to go out into the desert and live in caves and fight those no good Russkies for the United States.
Laying his life on the line daily against the Soviets he was an American hero.
But things have a way of changing when dealing with big International Corporations. Isn't Big Corp really the Government of the United States? -
