Confusion Regarding This Nation's Stance on Terrorism
Date: May 07, 2012 08:41PM
So I was watching CNN today and there was a long piece on how we are increasing our defenses against terrorism. The piece was mostly about the TSA and how they have expanded and how they are still expanding to combat new ways and means of conduct terrorism. The reasons behind this is supposedly because the terrorists are inventing new strategies, and supposedly will not try to use the same strategies twice.
After that piece there was the story on that new thwarted bomb plot. What did the terrorist use? An UNDERWEAR BOMB. This is the 2nd underwear bomb used in 3 years. This is an old strategy, and although it thankfully didn't work, it is not new. It was not something that we have not seen before and we should have seen it before it gone on the plane.
It seems all those new ways the TSA can violate a person's body and belongings have been created in vain.
Now there is also Iran. Supposedly Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon. OK, that might not be good. Ideally, no nation should create nuclear weapons. Still, I find this whole situation completely suspect as well, considering Iran can't even use Photoshop...If you haven't heard, a couple years back they Photoshopped a photo of a rocket test, making it seem like there were many more than there were. It became an Internet meme. Yesterday, Iran's government released another photo of a missile test using a picture created by some dude on the internet to make fun of Iran. The photo had JAR JAR BINKS in it. IRAN USED THIS PHOTO. And the US and Israel are willing to risk a war against a country that can't even use photoshop? The Internet meme photos were better than theirs.
Congress has less than a 14% approval rating, yet they continue to circulate legislature that the American people hate. SOPA, PIPA, CISPA, Patriot Act. They pass and try to pass them under dubious reasons. CISPA is the same as SOPA, but this time it has a new name and it is for preventing pedophilia.
You ever look at how many terrorists have come from this D.C. area? What are we doing? I think with all our precautions and safety measures to prevent terrorism, we are creating terrorists faster than ever before. Seriously, what the hell are we doing? I'm beating a dead horse, I know, but how much longer is this government going to be bass-ackwards?

Am I confused, or are we heading toward Fascism, if we have not already obtained that status?
