First and foremost, al quida hates our culture. So as excellent counter measure and one of the few productive Bush measures I see working, we should do the utmost to embrace Pakistan.

It is extremely ironic that Prudential wanted out of Newark badly in the past. I think it would be in governments best interest as lowest cost form of homeland defense initiative to buy building from Prudential and end it as terrorist target.
Just think of the tens of millions of dollars the mayor of Newark and governor of NJ are going to hit up Bush administration up for homeland defense. Pay Prudential ten cents on the dollar and implode the building. Then, Prudential can move headquarters out of Newark and join A&M Best, Merck Aventis, & Chubb Insurance in Somerset County, NJ for their headquarters site like they want to do anyway.
