Just another example of what it costs when we decided to be the world's policeman. Costs must now increase because we have decided to impose democratic principles and Christian values on the world. Imposed as specifically stated in George Jr's "State of the Union" speech. Costs that increase when we invent myths (ie Saddam's WMDs) and then decide to impose our will (and myths) on others.

Nations that solve problems with military action rather than using negotiations must create and massively increase Fatherland Security. We could have been smarter. Instead we could have supported and concluded the Oslo Accords rather than subvert them. Or protected and used our massive popularity for rescuing Kuwait. Instead, we created even more enemies. Those costs are a microcosm of costs we incur when we unilaterally impose our extremist will rather than let the world chose to be more like us.

And then are the Rush Limbaugh, et al suggestions that all but encouraged the assassination of Obama. In reality, the greatest threats come from domestic wacko extremists encouraged to kill people in the name of their wacko politics or religion. These wackos even encourage to assassination of abortion doctors - and then openly praise it.
