President Bush's prime purpose now is gearing up America for a wider
war. "It's not over. It's not over," he told Newsweek, concerned that
the people might think otherwise. "Afghanistan is just the beginning,"
he roared to an audience of soldiers at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
"America has a message for the nations of the world. If you feed a
terrorist or fund a terrorist, you're a terrorist."

Who should be hired to bomb Langley, DC, Saudi Arabia etc.?
