Using nothing more threatening than a couple of box cutters, the 9/11 hijackers turned the United States into a proto fascist state. To my knowledge, that has not happened in any of the European countries or Israel, who are under constant terrorist threat. Without firing a shot, those few men forced us to deny and invalidate our own civil rights. In my view that is quite an accomplishment. Comments? I put this together some time ago and forgot about it. It’s a little strange, but if anyone has anything to say, feel free. Ladymabelgrex
