At the moment, I have no idea what kind of retaliation or response we should make. I guess I'd like to wait and see what information comes in, whether it is a country, or just a group of people (most likely). What I do know is my attitude toward situations in the middle east have changed. When the uprisings started, I'll admit I favored Israel (too many memories of PLO terrorists from when I was a kid, I guess) although in recent weeks with assasinations and other military attacks and mistreatment of Palestinians, I found myself sympathizing with Palestinians. However, that all disapeared after watching them cheer the deaths of Americans and any sympathy I felt for them is gone. In fact while watching the WTC fall down yesterday, I was thinking the best way to solve the Palestinian question would be to send Israel bigger bombs to use. I know this is just anger speaking and I'll feel different in a couple of days, I don't think that the Palestinians should count on the US to help with negotiations in the future because I doubt most of us give a crap what happens to them. If this offends anyone. Just venting what I'm feeling today...
I started with Comcast about 4-5 months ago. It worked pretty well once they took care of some minor problems (Bad splitter outside my house). Then ATT took over promising improved services, blah,blah,blah. So far all they've done is upgrade the price. Now AOL might take over I can just imagine the "upgrades" they'll add. Higher cost? (after all, they charge $23.90 for dial-up access). Improved services? (probably proprietary software to access the net). Am I worried? Yes. I'm sure glad my employer pays for my broadband or it would be worse...
