They busted in the door on several clapboard homes after smelling something foul, fearing that bodies were inside. "One lady told us to go to hell," says Staff Sergeant Vincent Rodney of the Oklahoma National Guard, "but they're all gonna have to leave...
...think for a second we don't know about New Orleans. We have all listened to WWL radio.

The world is not a perfect place, but when the rest of us don't get what we want, we aren't hell-bent on bringing down the whole house. My advice to clearheaded Muslims is to look closely and honestly at the real reasons behind the scourge of terrorism. If they do not, then self-destruction is inevitable. James Gogo Bonny, Nigeria...
