Joan;
There is a consistency in our society here. You can see it in the dominant structure of our cities. In San Francisco, its is the Transamerica Building; New York, once it was World Trade; Boston, Hancock;.... We herd around that which promises a continuity of income, that is our rock as Prudential wisely noted. When an America,such as Cheney speaks of quagmire he comes at that time from a prospective that sees no income. Although a creator of OMB A76, the rock behind outsourcing of the war, in 1991, the then Secretary of Defense was not in the position of gaining an annuity. During the 90's Cheney morphed from the government participant to the industrial titan finally with a fortune and the annuity club access. When bin Laden attacked our "main mosque" (just as he would later attack Shiite mosques) he provoke the response that would gain for Cheney the annuity as final reward. bin Laden the heir to world of Ali Baba became the benefactor for the Cheney an stident of Babbitt.
