Who is the real "enemy"?
In the years since September 11, 2001, America has re-paid/retaliated, for the loss of 3,000 Americqan lives, by invading atleast two, foreign nations. I just wonder how many tens, or hundreds, of thousands, of Iraqi, and Afghan, civilians have perished, as America seeks to avenge the loss of our 3,000.
In the days since 9/11/01, Americans have been lectured with "The enemy is everywhere". The question is, how bad has this rhetoric become when children are banned from planes, under the suspicion of being "potential bombers"? How bad has we become if all religious symbols are suspected of being possible explosives?
How different are we, than our "enemy", when we say that torture, and interrogation, of "foreign nationales", is "necessary", yet we condemn other nations, for torture, and interrogation, of Americans, such as the recent, on-line story of the first female ex-pow?
Have we regressed so far, as to return to the days of McCarthyism,"Better dead than red", and so on? Over these past tears, Americans have been taught to question anything which is "different", and to having neighbors suspecting neighbors, for "suspicious changes in behavior".
I just wonder if America’s mational sjogan: "We will never forget" should be replaced with "We have met the enemy, and they are US"? HAve we become our own worst ebeny, when every necklace, toy, handbag, ipod, and so on, is suspect as a potential bomb? How similar is the phrase "The terrorists are everywhere. If we dont destroy them, they will destroy us" than its counterpart "The only thing to fear is fear, itself".
Has American paranoia lead us to the point where everyone is suspect, and anyone, even infants, are to be suspected, as possible "enemy agents"? When we begin to suspect one another "just because" then haven’t we become our own worst enemy?
How can America be a mighty nation, bringing peace, and "democracy", to the eorld, when our own ppeople no longer trust one another? If we continue to live under the dark cloud, of suspicion, and paranoia, then haven’t we, in fact, become a much worse enemy, than the "underwear bomber"?
Have we forgotten that America was founded not by American’s, but by refugee’s, from England, Russia, Germany, and so on.
How long will we remain our own worst enemy?
According to star trek, Fear.

Secede, take your idiots that lost no one in 911 and can watch people who made the choice of burning to death or jumping to death on live tv and seeing the body parts of human beings spewed all over the streets in Israel, the UK, Madrid, can hear about the little girls in Beslan who were raped with hard objects so hard by filthy Chechen Muslims that they bled to death and keep telling yourself we are our own enemy. You’re a worthless moron.
Well said, My Business Plan.

You gotta send them a message. You piss with us, and will flatten you regardless the cost to us.
Its pretty simple really. If my neighbor comes onto my property and knocks down my shed, then he could probably look forward to many years of broken windows, flat tires and anything else I can do to punish the scoundrel. SLOWLY.
We can not allow the Muslim Infidels one second of down time. That is when they plan the next attack. We have to keep taking it to them, until we get ALL of them and kill them.
Do you think they would have any compassion for you?
If innocents die, then I guess thats too bad.
They need to make social changes in their countries and teach them not to kill innocent people, especially Americans.
It is the fault of the Muslim peoples that America must do the tough work.

Terroists use fear to make you do what they want.
Isn’t that what the goverments doing?
We invade iraq being the "good guys" to find bombs but what there’s none? Let’s take there oil!
But where still the good guys right?
Where our own enemy fighting nothing. Where being lied to! decieved! do your research you will find this conspiracy is a fact

That’s just how we roll, here in America.
Every couple of decades we NEED a new enemy.
We either create these enemies (the CIA calls it BLOWBACK), or we simply imagine them (have you noticed that, according to media hype, the terrorists are fcuking EVERYWHERE?).
One good way to create enemies is outlined in the John Perkins book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man".
When America interferes, intervenes, meddles, and pushes her way into foreign countries, some of the citizens of these countries get agitated.
Now, don’t get mad at me. I know that Americans would welcome, with open arms, ANY foreign country meddling in our internal affairs. We would LOVE to have Chinese or Russian troops stationed in our larger cities. As a matter of fact, answering a Russian soldier’s probing questions, at a security check point just outside of Baltimore or Los Angeles, would be quite an honor, don’t you think?
However, the SAVAGES in these ridiculous Third World nations don’t think like Americans do. They don’t like foreign troops on their soil. Crazy, aren’t they?

How long will we remain our own worst enemy?
As long as progressive socialists are in our governments ranks like they are today, and our government is beholden to special interest groups, unions, advocates, and radicals. Your information is so blown out of proportion and full of falsehoods, its obvious you either have done no legitimate research to weed out the real facts from the left wing bullcrap spin, or your just a hymie who believes everything the left wing media produces.
