   I'm not too concerned. I can grow all the fuel and food I need, and if we
didn't have to pay as much taxes (end all the subsidies to the ag, oil,
trucking, and other industries and we'd pay a *lot* less taxes) and I could
afford to pay higher prices on the few things I need to buy.

   No, no, no -- Osama could care less about us becoming Muslim. They want the
infidels out of their holy land. And I fully agree. In fact, we need to get
every single US troop out of *all* foreign countries. For that matter, we need
to disband the US military lock, stock, and barrel -- and get back to doing what
the Constitution allows for -- a militia, that is composed of the armed
citizenry, and which never leaves the borders of the US. Like the Swiss
have. That's the only legal, Constitutional,  military we can have, really.

   You mean like the present US gov't? Like the religious attack that we've been
under in this hemisphere ever since 1492?

   Maybe you'd enjoy my website -- http://www.oshkoshbygosh.org

It's got a bit to say about religious wars.
