I believe that Americans are so blinded by fear of the other (jihadis, Republicans, communists, etc etc) that they can be extremely easily manipulated.

Knowledge is power though and if enough people learn the truth things CAN change.

But it may be too late for it to be a painless change. If 9/11 taught us anything it's that US policies can have real and deadly consequences on US soil. That reality will only be amplified but the Internet and ease of movement internationally.

Plus. As GOOD people become totally disillusioned with the US they'll look elsewhere for leadership.

And the more America is backed into a corner the more dangerous it will become.
