You're not serious about your news, man. The downturn in travel, tourism, and so on is the direct result of Bush's "war" on terrorism, not the effect of the terrorism itself. Worse, we're still blind to the real reasons for the terrorism. I'd recommend reading the book "911" by Noam Chomsky, for an extended list of how the US has become the #1 terrorist nation on the planet. I'm not just talking about Camp X-ray or Abu Ghraib, here. I'm talking abotu the School of the Americas, bombing medical factory in the Sudan, sponsoring terrorism directed against ordinary people in South America, looking for exemption from prosecution for war crimes and crimes against humanity... Man, dont worry about the Taliban, or Osama Bin Laden. It's the unawareness of our OWN terrorism that caused WTC, that you shoudl eliminate, and it's Bush's fanning of the flames of paranoia that're destroying our economy. I'm just deeply saddened that Kerry didn't vote against the war on Iraq from teh very beginning the way Dean did. Hopefully now that Kerry's wising up, he'll get and stay committed to dismantling the atmosphere of endless war, secrecy, and paranoia that Bush's subjkected us to.
