It’s all sort of ironic, when you think about it. When you fly, you are inspected quite thoroughly. Whereas the plane itself is perhaps occasionally vacuumed. See, with this administration, if a passenger blows up a plane, it’s a failure on the War on Terror. But if a plane just blows up on its own, eh, that’s the market self-regulating.
That philosophy explains why many more banks than planes have exploded.
Bush today compared our Iraqi AQ problem to the cold war. Said that the multiple hundreds of billions and over 4000 dead, 40K wounded is much, much worse than what another WTC would be for America.
