AM<BR>Subject: [extropy-chat] 9/11 Commission Report<BR><BR><BR>As a personal
aside, in the last year or so I've had the worst dreams of my life regarding
"end-of-the-world scenarios" caused by explosions - nuclear bombs and such
(actually I haven't had nightmares any like this, ever - and they've been coming
intermittently but consistently). <BR><BR>Is anyone else on this list as worried
as I am? Does anyone see any end in sight?</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2> <BR><BR>Re the 9/11 Commission Report: "The report offers
vivid details on our worst fears. Instead of focusing on immediately hitting
back at Osama, Bush officials indulged their idiotic idée fixe on Saddam and
ignored the memo from their counter-terrorism experts dismissing any connection
between the religious fanatic bin Laden and the secular Hussein."</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>The report by the
September 11 commission is missing one <BR>obvious way the U.S. government
could reduce the chance of another <BR>terrorist attack, Libertarians say:
Quit meddling in foreign nations.<BR><BR>"The intelligence reform needed most
right now is a more intelligent <BR>foreign policy," says Libertarian
presidential candidate Michael Badnarik. <BR>"Pulling U.S. troops out of
nations where they don't belong would make <BR>America much safer than
appointing a thousand new intelligence czars."</FONT></FONT></DIV>
