Arraya,

Exactly right. One idiot underwear bomber and we are no longer America. We are abandoning our freedom to respond to the actions of a few dozen “terrorsts”.

Using Israel as an example of “how to do it” is adding insult to injury

Agreed. WP has a great article on Israel security.

I really like the last sentence.

“I suspect the real reason for the outrage over body scanners and pat-downs is that the majority of Americans are finally experiencing the kind of discomforting scrutiny that has long been routine for those who are repeatedly profiled and humiliated. As long as it was someone else, it didn’t matter.”

Good article enron.

San Diego late author Chalmers Johnson wrote about America’s follies:

Product Description

The author of the bestselling Blowback Trilogy reflects on America’s waning power in a masterful collection of essays

In his prophetic book Blowback, published before 9/11, Chalmers Johnson warned that our secret operations in Iraq and elsewhere around the globe would exact a price at home. Now, in a brilliant series of essays written over the last three years, Johnson measures that price and the resulting dangers America faces. Our reliance on Pentagon economics, a global empire of bases, and war without end is, he declares, nothing short of “a suicide option.”

Dismantling the Empire explores the subjects for which Johnson is now famous, from the origins of blowback to Barack Obama’s Afghanistan conundrum, including our inept spies, our bad behavior in other countries, our ill-fought wars, and our capitulation to a military that has taken ever more control of the federal budget. There is, he proposes, only one way out: President Obama must begin to dismantle the empire before the Pentagon dismantles the American Dream. If we do not learn from the fates of past empires, he suggests, our decline and fall are foreordained. This is Johnson at his best: delivering both a warning and an urgent prescription for a remedy.
