I believe that most of the US caught the cultlike, mob psychology right after 911 and the resultant hysteria that followed. Most of us recovered from the shock and understood the situation. Others have decided to capitalize on the hysteria and fear for their own personal profit.

I think it's a very simple thing to turn a bunch of average people into a mob. Most people can't or won't think for themselves and would probably do just fine in a totalitarian system like Saddam's.

Sad but true IMO.
