How secure are you?
Petraeus' empty words and the real terror threat.
By Camille Paglia
Six years after the attack on the World Trade Center, what is the
state of national security in the U.S.?
The Bush administration assures us that, thanks to its invisible hand,
we are far safer than we would have been with a bleeding-heart
Democrat at the helm. I suspect this is true: The lack of scruple
about constitutional guarantees that has been openly flaunted by Vice
President ***** Cheney might well have nipped nascent conspiracies in
the bud -- though at the price of the massive surveillance and
targeting of innocent citizens.
Should there be another major attack on U.S. soil, even Democrats
suspicious of Republican hype would snap into survivalist mode, where
defense of hearth and home is an elemental instinct. What Bush and
company puff as the "war on terror" is no mirage: radical jihadism,
exacerbated by the arrogant stupidity of our invasion of Iraq, does
indeed threaten the very existence of Western civilization, whose
peace and prosperity depend on a complex infrastructure and
communications system vulnerable to catastrophic disruption by small
bands of ruthless saboteurs.
