Realities of 9-11, Terrorism, Homeland Attacks and Terror Alerts ...
After many omninous signs and warnings, many of which the current White House occupants failed to respond, America suffered a great loss of life in the worst terroristic attack to strike the american homeland since Pearl Harbor, and the greatest loss of civilian life ever ...

From that moment: a rational people would gather their thoughts and opinions, and re-evaluate the facts that lead up to such a horrific and terrible event, and consider what would be the most prudent and reasonable approach to defending their interests, and their lives, from such a devastating blow forever into the future ...

A rational people would of course gird their homeland defenses, increasing the scrutiny of other possible avenues of attack, using their resources most efficiently and most effectively to forestall any future occurances of the type that took the lives of so many good innocent human beings ...

A rational people would develop a solid, mutlifaceted plan of statesmanship and international diplomacy to align and develop strong multilateral alliances with which to join forces against such heinous acts of murder, and would also maintain a solid military force by which to act against threatening states which promoted those acts, and which harbored those who plan and execute those attacks ...

From the morning of 9-12: a RATIONAL people would know:

1) We are not immune from attack from ideological extremists bent on murder ...

2) We can be attacked with nearly ANY possible means, in any place, and by those who appear on their face to be normal and friendly ...

3) EVERY public place is a potential target for attack; no matter where, no matter when, no matter why ...

After 9-11: There was only ONE 'Terror Alert' necessary: The one that tells rational americans that WE CAN BE ATTACKED ANY TIME, ANY PLACE, and in ANY WAY ....

We do NOT need to be told over and over again that 'We may be attacked' ...

We do NOT need COLOR CODED THREAT SYSTEMS ...

We do NOT need the Director of Homeland Security marching out of his fortress of solitude to tweak our noses every couple of weeks ...

The present administration, who did NOT do enough to protect america during the summer of 2001, is now doing EVERYTHING IT CAN to manipulate the people of their own nation by stoking their worst fears and purposely increasing the sense of insecurity, at a time when they should be doing EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to actually, REALLY protect the very lives of those innocent citizens they let down on the morning of September 11th, 2001 ...

Yes: WE KNOW WE MIGHT BE ATTACKED AT ANY TIME AND IN ANY PLACE AND IN ANY MANNER .... WE MUST be vigilent ...

So STOP trying to twist our collective NUTS, and DO SOMETHING that 'rational people' would do ...
