I disagree. The scenarios laid out in the article are highly possible and probable.
My good friend who passed away last year used to tell me he did not like reading articles about terrorism because, as he said, "I'd rather think about nicer stuff, like reading People Magazine". To to many Americans have their heads buried in the sands of delusion and live in fear of knowing the truth.
It is time the American people stop living in denial and face up to the harsh reality of the world we are now living in.
Yes. We are 100% in agreement on that.
It is time for Americans to acknowledge that none of the absurd fear scenarios promoted by the Spook-Media Complex are true. They made them up, to advance their own agendas. The cyanide in the water, the terrorist cells, the anthrax/smallpox /suitcase nukes and all the rest of it. I wish I had the time to catalogue the literally thousands of Fear Threads that have been posted on FR, but I don't. No-one has that much time. It's been a dream run for the professional alarmists, they've made a lot of money and got their budgets and personnel numbers expanded just the way they wanted. Quite similar, to the Y2K scammers. Good luck to 'em, there's a sucker born every minute. But after the last six months of self-indulgence by way too many Americans (and quite a few Aussies) it is now time for everyone to grow up and stop using the fantasy that they're in some kind of personal risk as an attention-getting device. Mr President, show a bit of real leadership. Bring closure, to 911. Cancel the totally unjustifiable planned attack on Iraq, which will do nothing more than re-energise the international Left. Stop the erosion of rights and the attacks on the Constitution by the spooks and the bureaucrats. And lastly, get America back to business.
