9/11, and before that the WTC attack and Oklahoma City, sure provided a good cover for the fascists' dreams of dismantling our freedoms. Our TRUE freedoms, that is.

I shudder to think what they have in store for us next if/when the next terror attack hits the U.S. I know I will fight strongly against whatever they have planned, but I fear that too many Americans will allow for further deterioration into police state tyranny.
