Terrorism is much more than blowing things up. It has political elements to it as well. Getting a nation to completely restructure things is just as much a goal of terrorism is as blowing up cafes.
In this case in this country, Osama is winning and has won. And Napolitano and Obama and the Democrats are grateful to him for it. It gives them the excuse to take away more freedoms and tread on our constitution. Just as the perpetual wars in Eurasia and Eastasia were used in 1984, the crisis that was CREATED by the 3rd Reich to start an invasion into Poland, the burning of the Reichstag to justify taking police action against the Jews, the burning of Rome by Nero to justify persecuting the Christians.........the fact that our government hasn't solved these issues - are suing an American state for trying to protect its self - stonewalling investigations into racism at the DOJ level - are coming out in support of a mosque on what is sacred ground to Americans and supporting a political statement by a terrorist regime on our own soil.......I think the enemy has won much more than we want to admit and has friends we would rather not admit and we have enemies we would rather pretend aren't our enemies.
Our only hope? That people wake up and hold our government accountable. But as it stands now.....Osama's winning! I hate to admit it! But someone has to say it. Though I do wonder how the embracing of homosexuality by our civilization while embracing extremist Islam is going to go over.......those two aren't compatible. Or we'll end up with an extremely bastardized culture clash.
