What's wrong with underlining important quotes from the article ?
Not everything has to be written in small caps.
In any case its good to see atleast some people that actually "get" what terrorism is, how to deal with it and the reason the US is going all wrong dealing with this issue.
Too bad that such rational thinking is drowned in a sea of hype and "warmongering attitude as if you could really wage war on a abstract concept". Just remind me, has the war on drugs been won ? After several decades ? No you say. Well thats exactly the situation where the US will be in 50 years. Still heralding the "victory" on the war on terror all the while your freedoms will have been all but eliminated because there is a 0,0000001% probability that a person could perpetrate a crimine oops I meant a terrorist attack.
Just a note, I was apalled listening to NPR radio about how people (or sheeple a better term) are OK with going to the airport 6 fricking hours before a flight because of security measures.
If this doesn't tell you just how ****ed up the whole system is and how the terrorists have already won nothing will.
The US a country of fear induced citizens. You really have to wonder how countries that have had political/ethnical terrorism for decades have manged to survive and go along just fine without trasforming ourselves and our societies into some kind of kafkian bad dream.
Carpenter and other filmakers ironically managed to capture this latent american fear very well decades ago in films such as 1997 escape from new york and another b movie Fortress with Cristophe Lambert.
They dreamed it up, your stupid politicians made it real.
