...this event has given a great window into American political thought and policy....the kind of concentrated dosage of what passes for United States "thinking" on the matter of Terrorism.

On CNN Blitzer opines that we must "learn from our mistakes"....he means of course the mistake of letting the two brothers travel freely etc. I guess he means we have to crack down even more...that the Patriot Act clearly wasn't enough. I thought, given that it's the ten-year anniversary of the Iraq War and the media have been playing at "re-examining" the lies that led us into it, but no, Blitzer and the rest of the media are talking about being more vigilant, curtailing more rights, snooping even more....at the same time they are beating the drums for yet another "Iraq" only this time against Iran...and just today they added Syria and sarin gas as yet another "intelligence" coup that forces us to go to war and make huge profits for some.

It seems we haven't learned anything, except how to better scare people into letting the government grow its actual powers, while the same neo-con gang are wailing about gun control and too many food stamps and such government "handouts".

Americans now want to ban Muslim students from entering the United States...it makes perfect sense to them to hold an entire religion responsible for what a handful have done or could do...this is a variation of meeting one smelly Jew and deciding that their entire religion is "dirty". We have no trouble hating and blaming EVERYONE connected to 'an act of terror" but stubbornly refuse to accept that these acts come our way because of the terror that WE are even now bringing to Muslim countries...WE can strike back at anyone and everyone, THEY never can.

The challenge of Facism is to trick people into FREELY undoing themselves, through the democratic process. Hitler pulled it off, though most crudely and while he definitely lost, Fascism is winning in democratic countries largely because of the same technique; SCARE PEOPLE. Scare them enough and they'll babble and lose their wits and begin to freely hand over their only rights and protections. Nothing will change until the voting public recognizes that it is the policies of OUR government, meaning the wealthy who control things, which bring down on us the wrath of desperate, angry and poorly educated people who feel they have nothing more to lose or seek revenge, as we now do against all Muslim students, innocence be damned, let's just get them all so we can be "safe".

Not until Americans are no longer fooled by appeals to Jesus and family values etc., voting in administration and after administration that merely uses these tag lines to get votes, after which they quietly put in place their REAL policies, the ones you would never vote for, if they told you out front from the start, and all of them eventually made acceptable and even preferable because they ALSO have polices in place guaranteed to manufacture all the "terrorists" they need to maintain and grow their control.

It is us. never our leaders, who are at fault. There is no Muslim "terror"...not until Christians abused Muslim countries so that some sought REVENGE...like we now want against ALL Muslims, students, the innocent etc.

We met the real Terrorists, and it is us!
