AFAIK, there hasn't been a single day of global peace in the last five centuries or thereabouts, so there's always a measure of inaccuracy to my statement. I mentioned _global_ war further down in my post, btw. A conflict on the scale of WW2 was what I had in mind. So it's on that background I'm a bit puzzled as to why this (legal) bill emerges now. It made me wonder if someone, somewhere, perceive the current situation much more threatening (to the US) than I do from up here in the Frostpit... Cheers, Jostein =========== I think you don't understand the political climate in the US. While it has changed a little, maybe more than a little, it has not changed for all. Not this soon, or this quickly. Still plenty of people here terrified of terrorists. Paranoia, of various kinds, is fairly common. Including some being paranoid about our own government (which, in my opinion, is pretty justified). I don't think we feel as peaceful as you seem to think we feel.
