Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:09 pmIt's our national temperament that makes terrorism so devastating. The death of 3,000 people is a horrible tragedy and a despicable criminal act, but it is not cause to turn our whole existence upside down, dismantle civil liberties, and go insane with foreign policy. If we have another 9/11 type attack it's all over.

Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:13 pmhad 3000 been in a barn when they died i think the response would have been a bit more subdued. the loss of life was compounded by 1. we all saw it happen, not just the aftermath, we were all sitting there watching one burn and then a plane hit the other, and then we watched them fall 2. it happened in nyc and 3. it resulted in billions in damage

Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:17 pmthe political culture of "safety at all costs" has won out. it'd be interesting to see who it happened exactly.
and yes the legislative branch is completely screwed-up and broken at this point. it's essentially become a dysfuntional house of lords controlled by 2 warring tribes of power-corrupted Jr High-schoolers.

Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:47 pmThe point is: this is all totally PREVENTABLE. Here we have warning--a very public, not-ambiguous warning. Will we act?
Or just talk about Putin for the next month before it's on to the next distraction?
