The real war is the War on Decadence, manifest mainly as "Liberalism".
"Liberalism" has weakened the Western Democracies to the extent that a two-bit petty tyrant like bin Laden--comperable to Charlie Manson, Jim Jones, or Richard Speck--can pose a serious threat.
"Liberalism" is bin Laden's enabler. It is directly responsible for the Sept. 11 attack.
I think that the terrorist threat will force Americans into sobriety and that they will do the things I described if the provocation continues. Time will tell.
What do you think?
