Been to an airport lately?
The fact is, after 9/11 all we had to do was harden the cockpit doors and arm the pilots.
We did the former, I’m not sure of the status of the latter, but in the meantime we’ve empowered an army of jackbooted thugs to grope 80year olds and 8year olds in the name of “War on Terror”... and at the same time, there is ATT.
As for the war against Germany and Japan in the 40s, that was a clearly defined DELCARED war with clearly defined objectives, fighting against clearly defined enemies.
The “War on Terror” is kept purposely vague and has a single, solitary goal: the magnification of State Power.
