Excerpt is a teaser. Whole thing is worth reading.
Those bastards succeeded in putting a HUGE drag on the US economy with lost productivity and enhanced security — maybe a cumulative trillion dollars in 20 years. That money doesn’t do anything to make the USA more productive and it contributes to inflation.
I tell my kids all the time — You have no idea what this country was like before 2000. Completely different country, in so many ways.
It’s not all about the terrorism. But the US government did discover that there are advantages to having a population live in fear. We are now supposed to live in fear all the time. Viruses, vaccines, weather, terrorism, crime, you name it.
After 9/11 we should not have changed a single thing in this country. Should have just kept calm and carried on. And possibly considered nuking Tehran or other big city that supported terrorism as a weapon.
As aritcle states......”Being terrorized can be expressed just as much through adaptation and numbness as through fear and anger. The failure to fight back and end the state of terror is what being ‘terrorized’ looks like....In America, having terrorists blow things up around us became background noise. It happens sometimes, as it recently did in North Dakota, but we try not to pay too much attention to it.”....it’s happening only because our governments are refusing to end it.”
Islamic terrorism exists for one reason alone... And the reason is that we tolerate it....The only acceptable answer to Islamic terrorism is to utterly destroy it while making the terrorist supporting populations pay the largest share of the price for that destruction.....what is normal is for terrorists to adapt to running for their lives. ...
Muslim terrorism is a norm within Islamic societies, but abnormal in ours. If we continue to accept it, we will end up living in an Islamic society and the abnormal will become the norm.
Everything he writes is well worth reading!
I would much rather protect myself from terrorists than be forced to protect myself from my own government.
