No need to go to Israel...
In late April 1919, at least 36 booby trap dynamite-filled bombs were mailed to a cross-section of prominent politicians and appointees, including the Attorney General of the United States, as well as justice officials, newspaper editors and businessmen, including John D. Rockefeller. Among all the bombs addressed to high-level officials, one bomb was notably addressed to the home of an FBI field agent. On the evening of June 2, 1919 eight large bombs blew up simultaneously in eight different U.S. cities. These bombs were much larger than those sent in April, using up to twenty-five pounds of dynamite.
The response? Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, twice targeted by anarchist bombs, organized the nationwide series of police actions, known as the Palmer raids, in November 1919 and January 1920. Under suspicion of violating the Espionage Act, the Sedition Act, and/or the Immigration Act of 1918, approximately 10,000 people were arrested, of which 3,500 were held in detention. Of those held in detention, 556 resident aliens were eventually deported. Of course that was when our leaders had backbone.
We can all choose sympathy or not with Iraq, but those people seem to daily experience bombings where 30-60 people die. For a population that is much smaller than the US, they are living in a daily hell of “do I go to the market today or not”....
Our country could easily slip into this kind of daily life....
