Terrorism and Politics

This article examines whether a terrorist attack would benefit the McCain campaign.

1) Any candidate who considers terrorism an asset to their campaign does NOT deserve to be elected.

2) Republican incompetence has presided over one huge breach of American security. If another one happens on their watch, it is time to give someone else a turn in hope of better security, NOT time to give the Republicans yet another opportunity to preach "security" and deliver catastrophe.

3) Over the last 8 years, the government has done far more damage to the Constitution and the American way of life than all the terrorists put together. We need someone who understands what "of the people, by the people, for the people" really means.

The "Project for the New American Century" proposed a whole list of changes that they believed would take the U.S. to it's ultimate destiny as the dominant empire of the world (my paraphrase). It published a report in 1998 I believe where they said that these changes would be slow in coming unless there was "a new Pearl Harbor" event.

This proved correct, because many of the changes that they proposed happened just as they wanted after 9/11. And W's popularity shot up.

The document used to be online, but it seems to have been taken down. Here is the link to the Wikipedia article about it, though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century

Did you know about this before?

Unfortunately, I knew about it before Bush took office. Sometimes I wish I didn't know so much.

I hadn't heard about that specific project, but I've heard plenty of similar things. I have been increasingly appalled by America for years.
