4. The root cause of this? budget cutters in the GOP.

Some years ago, when we successfully beat the USSR in Afghanistan, secretly, (to us, not to the rest of the world) we had a chance to fund schools, economic growth, roads, and the reconstruction of Afghanistan. The GOP in congress (and a few deems) said no.

The void that was created was filled by Wahabi assholes like Osama bin Laden.

Once we realized our mistake, we began to compound our problem, like stationing troops in Saudi Arabia, quite possibly the most insulting thing we could have done to bin Laden. It cemented his attitude against America and eventually let to 9/11.

On 9/11, a handful of like minded religious zealots (we have plenty of examples of our own brand here) managed to put a halt to all traffic in our country, to put our entire country into a panic. This panic was stoked and grown domestically for political reasons by Cheney and Bush, and laid the ground work for three huge mistakes: Our invasion of Iraq, our pathetic efforts in Afghanistan (After the locals offered bin Laden to us), and the creation of our current homeland security structure. Our police became militarized, they were taught to sit on any sign of dissent or protest, and they began this Us vs. Them mentality. Together with the huge influx in military styled weapons for street cops, and a shoot first mentality, we have created a virtual police state, especially with racial issues adding to the stress.

So from GOP assholes, we get an out of control police state.
