US government, justification or scare tactics?
FIRST of all, I heard a report that al-Qaeda has been planning another attack, again using airplanes as their detructive force, except more along the lines of charters or even helicopters. They are said to not have quite the same depth of intelligence behind the planning this time, but are still effectively planning attack on the US again. This was followed by them saying how al-Qaeda has regrouped, even within the US and an attack is now suspect, though no time frame or positive details are offered.
About an hour later I heard about GWB's plan to increase Airport security and a request to use incresed tax dollar spending to do it.
So while we ALL should agree that, despite the failed efforts in Afghanistan, al-Qaeda has NOT been stopped in ANY way, those that terrorized you still have strength and plans to do so again (moreso in vengeance of their former leaders)and they even reside in cells within the US.
So is this SCARE tactic about the airports possibly being used as yet ANOTHER scare tactic to get US citizens on the government side?
Will it work AGAIN?
Will everyone support the government's atrocious spending of your tax dollars due to fear of another attack?
Will people ever realize that you have always been a target of terrorism, as have many other countries around the world, and probably ALWAYS will be?
Will the US ogvrenment just have a new scare tactic every few years to make them seem proactive in stopping /reducing these threats? Do you ACTUALLY believe it is effective and not just lip service to secure a single FORM of government (repub or Democrat)as the one that works and helps protect America?
Seems like very 'convenient' timing between the 'new found information' (that everyone should have known all along anyway, and validating GWB's request for added tax spending?
Will he then expect the large coporations, that he has given tax breaks to, to start paying MORE taxes or will it be from YOUR pockets instead?
Does the US government possibly have the same need to control it's people as those that are considered socialists are SAID to have?
If so, will it happen by default, everyone just being coaxed into more conformity until they are living under the government's own umbrella, away from the personal freedoms and independance you feel you have over others?
