Myra Bronstein Wrote:Great article Peter. I remain unconvinced, as I've stated before that there is any such thing as "al qaida" as an actual terrorist force independent of the US gov't. It's the boogieman du jour.
As Steven Colbert said about Bob Graham's book--World at Risk--on a recent episode, it fills "the fear vacuum."
The only thing the gov't has to fear is fearlessness itself.
Very well put Myra. I agree completely. And with David's post on the illusion of "democracy" in the US. (prior thread).
