<BR>Howard,
<BR>
<BR>I generally sign my last name to messages just so there will be no confusion. I take issue with your comments - contentious perhaps to you and some others, insightful to almost everyone else.
<BR>
<BR>About sitting back enjoying all the controversy - if you mean the commiting our armed forces to risk their lives to protect us against future terrorist attacks and to have a heightened state of alert throughout the country, you are woefully misguided, my friend. You are the one playing a "frivolous game".
