LOL OMG be afraid we have not contained the tragedy begun by the last republican administration, maybe if they hadn't all been draft dodgers or maybe if they understood the history of a ME tribal nation, the Shia and Sunnis would be minding the store and not killing each other. The right wing conservative republicans are a complete failure in every way, criticizing President Obama is all they can do. In power they are a complete failure. Do you fools remember your hero never even got Osama bin Laden, did you forget already. 911 happened on a republican's watch. What a bunch of brain dead, afraid Americans the right has become. Go hide in a cave and take redstate with you.
"When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout." Herman Wouk
"...In fact, terrorism just isn’t a serious threat to American security or prosperity, especially compared to other dangers, and at some level the American people know that no matter what they tell pollsters. They get excited and fearful after an attack here at home, or after some tragic carnage overseas, but they don’t want government officials to do anything that might inconvenience them or force them to abandon some cherished special interest. They don’t demand fundamental shifts in U.S. Middle East policy (in part because the connection between that policy and the terrorist problem is obscured), and they don’t want to pay more taxes, register their guns, or go through any more security checkpoints. It’s easier just to target some minority population, blow smoke about “sealing the border,” and believe you can solve the problem by “banning Muslims” or electing an unqualified blowhard president.
All of which goes to underscore a theme I’ve made clear many times before: The United States is a very lucky country. It is rich enough that it can throw large sums of money at minor problems. It is secure enough that it can interfere all over the world and experience painful but endurable moments of backlash here at home. Indeed, it is so well-off that it can even afford a political class that is increasingly an embarrassment on a wide array of important issues. With this good fortune comes the luxury of being able to do the same dumb things over and over, which is a pretty fair summary of our entire approach to contemporary terrorism."
