Do you know how many small banks weren't heavily involved in hedge funds and subprime mortgates? 9,000 less 2% = 8,820.

Do you have any idea as to how many innocent Afghanis haven't been killed yet? Iraqis? Millions, if you put the two together. Even more if you add the Pakistanis who live in large metropolitan areas.

How many terrorists aren't in Guantanamo? Hundreds of thousands. At least.

Do you know how many non-US soldiers are left in the Coalition of the Willing? Several thousand, anyway, most in barracks waiting to go home. How many combatant soldiers of the Coalition of the Willing left who don't speak English as a native tongue? Well, that's classified. Would give aid and comfort to the enemy to know.

Nothing like Voltaire, Candide and a True Believer to see the bright side in most situations. The sky is NOT falling, that explosion has just caused the earth to rise to meet it.

Praise be. Thank God for the children.
