23. What a lily-livered response.
London survived the Blitz. Israel still runs buses even though any one of them might blow.

Terrorism will always exist because it's a way for a pissed-off minority to get attention. So bloody what?

You know what happens after a terror attack? If you're alive, YOU KEEP LIVING.

It's ridiculous to stop living now in anticipation.

29. Lilly-livered?
wow does anyone use that phrase? I feel like we should face off on an old western street now lol. Hey I said my family. Once they're safe I'm going to seek out the group of people that should be marching on washington to do a citizens arrest on most of the government and help them.

19. And New York says.....
Stuff it in an orifice.

If you bomb our buildings, we will use other buildings and then rebuild.

If you bomb our subways, we will take the bus.

If you bomb our bridges, honey, we got ferries.

Been there. Done that. Not remotely impressed.

11. I'm saving a bottle of Xanax and a case of beer for the next attack
Per MSNBC: "MI5: Al Qaeda planning to kill Prince Harry"
Also: "Iran - NYC attack"

Holy Hell on a stick. If the revolution doesnt start soon, I'm gonna have a fit.

Just drop the the damn nukes already. I dont want to send in my taxes yet. I'd rather spend it on beer and sleeping pills.

I am so close to just quitting, drinking daily, watching American Idol and Survivor like they want us too do, and drifting into the American Coma (I mean dream).

(Breaking News: Bobby Brown in Jail- I fucking quit)

17. A Tease???
You're kidding. If it's really imminent, that would call for a state of emergency, not a break for commercials. It's either incredibly irresponsible or a complete fabrication.

20. Iran would be bombed back into the Stone Age
if they tried - and they know it. Such an attack would only benefit Bush-Cheney.

Just like Saddam would never attack American interests so Bush-Cheney had to get some Saudi assets to do the job (and blame it on Iraq anyway).

26. More likely:
They are doing the same thing we are doing. Getting ready to retaliate if we attack them.

that's what happens when you start a forking war. The other side shoots back.

27. This fear mongering is promoting war with Iran
And of course it has everything ass backwards. The greatest potential threat to New York by Iranian agents will come after we attack Iran, not before it. Want homeland security? It's just like Wes Clark says. We need more friends in the world and less enemies.

We need to mobilize a peace offensive and we need to mobilize it now. I don't want to mobilize against an Iran war after it has started. I've been down that road too many times in my life and watched too many people die while we've struggled to end a war that could have much more easily have been prevented.

We have been given fair warning on this one. We can mobilize now to stop this war or we can mobilize later to protest it. It's one or the other.

Please go to StopIranWar.com and join the campaign against the march to war with Iran: http://www.stopiranwar.com /
