It's always the ones who WIN who get to write the History Books, not the ones who LOSE. |

"Patriots" don't make their point by blowing up their countries mothers,
fathers, and children as they try to pursue normal lives. There is nothing patriotic about what terrorists are doing. Calif Bill wrote: "Donald McDaniel" wrote in message nc.com...

... "Patriots" don't make their point by blowing up their countries mothers, fathers, and children as they try to pursue normal lives. There is nothing patriotic about what terrorists are doing. And amazingly, the question still remains: "What have the terrorists gained for themselves after all the destruction of property and loss of life and limb?" Answer: "Nothing whatever."
