More PROFITABLE “terrorist” preventing measures that come, coincidentally and conveniently , at a time when revolutionary urges or as James Madison wrote “Leveling impulses”start stirring.
As an aside, Drones are seducing the ruling class with a sense of invulnerability, which can be believed only by turning a blind eye to long-term consequences.
When an Afghani’s entire family disappears in a fireball that errupts at his uncle’s funeral, he will not simply accept the omnipotence of his overlords. He will fight back. But it makes no sense to fight a drone; it will not make any difference whatsoever if a drone is destroyed. A drone is soulless, it has no family, it does not bleed, it does not hurt. The target of his hatred will be Americans, where they live.
The only rational response to a drone attack is to blow some one or some thing up — somewhere far away from the scene of the attack. Escalated terrorism is the rational response to drone attacks, and drone attacks will be the response to terrorism.
There are some who see no problem with this, and they are the ones benefiting from “terrorism” fighting measures that double as uprising prevention .
