You know, I hear a lot of talk. I’m a waitress. I overhear snatches of conversations at my table. I overhear political arguments of martini-sipping bar guests while sitting behind the host stand. I engage in friendly debates on current issues with co-workers just about every day. (The bar t.v. is always on CNN, so there is an impetus for the discussions.) And one thing no one is talking about is the newest terror threat.
All day long it blares on the tube overhead: “Clear and Present Danger” Top U.S. officials are telling us outright that, “We will be attacked.” And no one bats an eye.
The terror alert stories are followed with reports on Bush’s dismal ratings in the polls. I overhear something about “coincidence.”
It is becoming apparent to me that most people, not just a radical few, no longer trust their President and his administration. Even when that administration predicts a catastrophe.
This gives me some hope.

That is so true. When we hear every few weeks that we have an “elevated terrorism level” and then nothing ever happens…what are we supposed to do? Get scared every time we hear this and go crawl under our beds?
The only thing we can do is keep on with our normal lives. I would rather not hear anything about a stupid terrorism level. It’s not like we could do anything to stop it anyway.
John Kerry is scary. He wants us to hide away and not to offend anyone. Oh well, just being America, a land of free people offends such as those who want to rule the world with terror, not let women vote or drive, or be seen by anyone other than their husband. I also think Kerry has no economic sense. He wants to close America in, forget that more jobs are outsourced to America than are leaving America. Forget that the unemployment rate is the same as the “roaring 90s” when Clinton was in office (if you dont believe me check it out for yourself, http://www.bls.gov that is bureau of labor statistics). Bush may not be great but he is better than the alternative. Thanks Brittney. I really enjoy reading your stuff and I stop by almost every day. Did not mean to rant in your place. Have a great day.
I think people stopped taking the terror alerts seriously when they gave them colors. Now the terror alerts are too much like the heat index alerts. “98 degrees and a chance of a late afternoon dirty bomb.”
Hear hear.
Or is it here here?
Whatever the word is, say it twice. I totally agree.
And Ian–try putting your actual email address, you chicken.
Ian your statement that “Oh well, just being America, a land of free people offends such as those who want to rule the world with terror” sounds good I suppose, but it isn’t actually very true.
The reason the Saudis/terrorists attacked the US in 2001 had to do with US troops stationed in Saudi Arabia. It had jack to do with being philosophically opposed to freedom.
However, you are right that there are people who see the US as a giant target. There are people who will always hate the US and seek to bring it down. That’s why Bush has been such a failure. Rather than staying with his mission to seek these people out and bring them to justice, he led us into a giant distraction like the Iraq war. Iraq, as I’m sure you realize, had nothing at all to do with terrorism. Sadam was a bad man, but he was safely contained and posed no serious or immediate threat the US strategic interests.
However, going into the mid-east with both guns blazing certainly turned off a lot of local countries whose assistance we required to root out the real terrorists and freeze their funds. It also fractured our military force and created a recruiting ground for terror that is swelling terrorist ranks in a way that will only come back to bite us on the ass.
Bush has been a failure in almost every respect.
Oh, and as to the US as the land of freedom spiel, the US is undoubtedly a wonderful country. Perhaps one of the finest countries that has ever been, but before you start feeling too superior to the rest of the world take a moment to consider that women couldn’t vote in the US until the 1920’s. That’s less than 100 years ago. You might have women in your familly who are alive today who were born into a world in which they couldn’t vote.
It’s not our freedom that the terror world hates. It’s our bullying and our arrogance.
