I have to really watch my reaction when I hear folks say our sons, fathers, daughters, mothers, etc. are dying in Iraq "to keep America free." They are dying because those around the world who make the most money from oil, gas, and conflicts about power, which they are really "into," have put them there as a diversion, as a way of making folks feel paranoid, paralysed with fear, polarised, zenophobic, etc., etc. It makes great press and keeps the masses "on edge" where they are afraid to make a change.

The amount of malpractice being perpetrated against the consciousness (minds) and hearts of people all over the world, through the In-Country and Mass Exportation of Fear by Bush et all is overwhelming. When those in authority make the kind of claims he has, and as the initial posting in this thread has done, the masses believe them. It's a plain, simple fact used in advertising all of the time. Prescription drug ads are a prime example: tell folks enough times they MAY have overactive bladder, limp dick, etc. enough times and to use YOUR drug to fix it and they will begin to self-diagnose, to BELIEVE they have such a malady and do exactly what the ads tell them to do...tell their docs and ask for the drug, by name.

Would that Bush really was just a "chicken little"...but, with the power of his office, imo, HE is THE most dangerous "terrorist" in the known world, today. His Fear-Mongering and the actions he takes are why.
