Sometime I wonder if the FBI and other security agencies lost perspectives or they know something that we don't.
Time and time again, their argumentation are not particularly persuasive.
I don't doubt the existence of terrorists, but it seems that they are more boogeymen rather than an actual threats.
And when it came down to it, the power of terrorists is to inspire fear, rather than kill people. They can change us because we felt the need to change.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoPoliticians need to appear strong. For some reason, especially in the U.S., "leaders" have to appear strong. When there's no war going on, they have to start one. Terrorism is easy. There's really nobody to fight, but you get to fight them anyway. Politicians LOVE this. Law enforcement loves it too. They get to trot it out as an excuse to lengthen their leashes.
- rorykoehler 11y agoStandard power play. There always needs to be an enemy to fight against to keep the population inline. After the Soviet Union collapsed it left a vacuum so we had to invent terrorism as the new threat. IMO anyone who is scared of a couple of inbred bible/koran thumping terrorists isn't fit to lead a country.
