mark, So. let me understand you. It's your opinion that preserved even one American life is worth spending any amount, correct? So, in your opinion ANY amount should be spent on, let's say efforts to reduce/eliminate environmental pollution? How many American have dies since 9/11/01 from respitory illness, cancer, etc. etc.? Or are you saying what is important is HOW Americans die or WHO is responsible for such deaths?
Like you say "what is the cost for safety?" "What is the cost of protecting the American people"?
