I would say most New Yorkers do not consider themselves to be at war at least not with Iraq. I think many people do not see any direct connection between the war on terror and our invasion. The notion that the response to terrorism is a war is at best a weak analogy sort of the war on cancer. I am not saying that the war has increased the chances of another attack in the US. I think our actions in Iraq and the success of the international community have had an effect on terrorist attacks. No one can claim anymore that we are paper targets. But the question is how long will this effect last. > >.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
