This forum is supposed to be anything other than fishing, and over 80 percent of the topics on the first page are : iraq, terror, al quaida(sp), war, and so on. I am in the military and should be on the front of all this, but sometimes you have to step back and deal with life. we cannot stop what is happening and, short of going over and nuking everyone, we will not be able to stop isolated terrorist actions. it is just depressing to see that if these die hard fishermen are not thinking about the best haunts, they are wrapped up in a war and politics that will drive us mad. input ideas? I like to think that fishermen are a group of the worlds most insightful thinkers, we often have large amounts of time to reflect on whats important to us, and I for one want nothing more than to forget about this whole ordeal until my time has come to go over. it is sad to see that a war can last for years in the mind, but the remeberance of thousands who died on 911 has all but pasted our medias attention
