Hi David and a big Welcome !

I am heartened to hear that the British have shelved the idea of identity cards for the time being but the simple fact that is was considered at all is in itself very scary. Should another "terrorist" strike happen I am afraid they will push all these "1984" scenarios through.

I am practicing walking on all fours so as to be prepared.

The thing that worries me is that now that Communism has died as the ultimate enemy "they" have managed to find a nameless and faceless one (enemy) that will keep them fighting forever.

"They" claim that the Taliban is our enemy but if they ( The Taliban) do as they are asked and turn over Bin Laden and his network I get the feeling that all will be as it was before and they will call off their attack on this obscene repressive government. I'm sorry it just does not add up. If the Taliban is that bad ( and they sure appear to be) then shouldn't we go in and wipe them out regardless of whether they turn over Bin laden or not ?

Best Regards
Don Barone
