Uh huh. The people who were in the WTC would probably have something different to say about that.
They might; on the other hand, all the casualties we've taken in Iraq and Afghanistan might see things my way. The worst menace is the one hurting you, personally, right?
And in fact, it's quite doubtful that bin Ladin would have been any danger to us if it weren't for the Cheneys in our post-WWII history (although to assign all that blame to Cheney himself would be a bit much). Maybe he'd have blown up the Saudi royal family instead.
It can't be doubted, though, that the greatest menace to our liberty is always going to be our own government rather than any foreigner. A foreign government may be tyrannical, but it has no jurisdiction here, while our own government does.
