    Well, the sick thing about all this. . . is the whole POINT of terrorism, is to TERRORIZE the target population, and cause them to react in this way (limit freedoms, increase fear, racial xenophobia, escalate conflict, provoke war, draw attention, etc.). And the US played right into it.

    The US didn't play into it, they are one of the main players and you are the played.

    neither the democrats nor the republicans actually care about the rights of the people.

    It's not about Left versus Right, it's about YOU versus THEM. THEM being the elitists who don't give a rats ass about YOU. Anything that THEM can do to "stir the pot" allows YOU to worry about trivial matters instead of focusing on the main point of eliminating the middle class (however wide a range you wish it to be) and having only the very rich and the very poor. The poor who will fight the rich mans wars while struggling at the same time to put food on the table, clothe and shelter their families. YOU are nothing but grist for the mill. I do not espouse anarchy, but when the elite start stratifying themselves into classes, they're doomed. Changes are coming. They always have. It's the only constant.

    Do they really want to make people so afraid that they would rather fight blindly anything that stimulates them the wrong way instead of discerning actual dangers and confronting them intelligently?

    What they really mean by "fair representation" would be more accurately described as "damn voters won't vote for the people we want them to, so we're screwing with the rules."

    A more fair representation would allow the "No Confidence" vote and a "Recall" vote box for each and every candidate in office every two years whether they are running or not. Then and only then will the *employees* of this nation take notice of their true employers. Also, no pay raise for any politician unless approved by 75% of the voting populace. And just like all the commercial businesses, the politicians should start paying a greater portion of their health benefits themselves and get off the free gravy train.

    It's common to use the "Pentagon" as a nickname for the DoD. The DoD certainly arrests service members for violating the UCMJ (and releasing classified information violates it).

    Stable governments don't appear out of nowhere; they happen when nations do economically well and their citizens get educated and see the benefits of stability and cooperation.

    Unstable governments pop out of nowhere. Stable governments form from a semi-stable educated populace. Unstable governments are formed from unstable people with guns who use them to get their points across. Logic and sensibility do no factor into the equation.

    Afghanistan is a longshot; chances are the US will not stay long enough to make it work and it will fall apart again. But they do have at least a chance now and having naturals resources helps.

    A man once said, "there is profit in confusion". This is how money is made. It worked in Vietnam and it's working in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's also working in Africa. Stability is the last thing criminal corporations want while the money grab is in play. Stable government means accountability for what goes on within a country's borders. The populace must be kept subjugated in anarchy lest they get together and "form a more perfect union".
