The world, at least for America is a very different place than it was before 9/11. I don't believe any of the things above. I don't believe we could survive as we were before 9/11.

We can proclaim any color of the rainbow we want and put an officer next to every toilet in the nation, but IMHO, it won't prevent the next 9/11 type attack. So, we can live in fear and continue to cripple ourselves, or we can boldly go about our business.
I don't ever see daily attacks like those in Israel and Iraq coming to the US or Canada, regardless if we went back to "green" or whatever we were at pre 9/11. The hate may have intensified, but it's always been there and we always dealt with it in the past.
Perhaps I'm naive, but that's my take on it.

When you provide unlimted support for Israel, invade and occupy an Islamic nation with the intent of instilling democracy at the point of a gun and use fear of our military to 'negotiate' with the rest of the Mid-East, not all will be happy campers.

We seem to disagree on defending of our own borders.

Well I won't answer your first questions but I will say this....
3k people dead and hundreds of billions later.....all we have are:
1.Dept of Homeland security
2.this color code warning
3.citizens working the airport security instead of legal aliens
4.lots of non-guilty parties going to jail
5.a war to remove non existent WMDs
6.national guard at bridges etc.
are we safer? Nope....a student managed to sneak box cutters aboard an airliner a few months back and he was taken in for questioning....
I hope he didn't get introuble for proving them inept!!!
Mexican TV had a special on the tunnels that lead under the intl wall the us has in place now....what is to stop terrorists from using these to sneak WMDs into the US?
The answers is easy......they can come in through Canada.....seems to be their fav route into the US.
What do I think of the system they devised? Moronic design by morons.
what do you expect?
It is esigned to quell the American people...to fool them into thinking that their govt is hard at work...protecting them...
