We are becoming more and more dependent upon technology and upon the maintenance of civil peace in order to keep that technology up and running. How much civil disruption would it take to upset that peace and thus cripple our technology-dependent civilization?
What if external and internal terrorism combined forces to call the bluff of those who hold the key positions in the maintenance of civil peace? How long would it take to bring our cushy world down?

Just a name.
As long as we have 'the power' we are invincible. The eggs are not all in one basket so it would take a long war to establish the end of the world as we know it.
You may have noticed that terrorism actually strengthens the civilization. Nothing binds a country like a common enemy,

West does not have a civilization, since Corporate cultuture has invaded it. Most of the people are wage slaves, who are happy because of material comfort.

You must not have read "Lord of the Flies" yet. Civilization is what stands between us and the abyss, and we should strengthen it at all costs.

To me civilisation is that thin veneer of restraint we apply over the savages that we are. Any society is only three meals away from revolution.
