SO tell me - what do you think it will take to Wake Amercans up, so that they fully understand the war on terror and what it potentially means for the future of America / democracy?
It seems that a large percentage of our population does not have a realistic understanding of what we as a nation are up against in this war. It's almost as if they think that it's just a little skirmish that won't affect their lives, when the truth is that our freedoms are under full scale attack.
Will it take another 911? Perhaps a nice little biological / radiological attack on LA would do it. Maybe Americans would wake up if they got up tomorrow morning to find that Chicago had been vaporized by a black market nuclear bomb. Or, would they?
I am pretty damn convinced that it is going to take QUITE A SHOCK to wake Americans up because we have become TOO DAMN SPOILED! So long as we have our cars, our gas to run them, our jobs and our exhalted oracles of propaganda (ie TV), then we are happy.
