I would agree to a point........ Certainly pasting osama's pict on every front page did give him lots of free press.......... @ least till bush2 turned sadaam into osama so we could take it out on him.........

I totally disagree w/ his take that it is all the greedy repubs fault...... When the two attacks happened in Africa "the good president, from the good party" was in office...... WTF???

IMO the two party's foreign policy agenda is almost identical..........

I agree but you said TALKING about religion (and terrorism) gives "them" power, which I still don't get or maybe that's not what you meant.

So true. Statistically, terrorism isn't even a threat at all to the average American. The real threat is getting rear ended, and we hardly give it a thought...
