I think this is a way more dangerous time for the United States because the world is smaller and virulent and deadly weapons are available to invisible cells who really hate the US. In fact who would have thought two jetliners would be used as deadly weapons and pound NYC so hard? It is not the time for bravado, it is a time for diplomacy which it seems W is not capable of.

So you consider the fact that there are virulent weapons and that the world is smaller and then reason this to be a more dangerous time than the Cuban Missile Crisis where the two nations with thousands of nuclear weapons each came to the brink of war?
You consider "virulent weapons" and a smaller world more dangerous than a world suffering from the Great Depression where the very foundations of capitalism itself were being challenged and questioned?
