>> Let's backup a little. Bush used terrorism color codes to keep Americans terrified.

Bush did no such thing.

The color codes served a purpose at the time for those who were not engaged (perhaps like yourself) to have some sense of what was going on. The system, in the end, sucked, but there was a purpose for it and it wasn't to "keep Americans terrified."

This is your opinion to which you're entitled, but lacks a factual basis.

No idea how old you are, but most of us around here are old enough to remember when terrorism in the US was not even a thing. After 1993, OKC, and WTC, hopefully, most of us learned.

Many of us, as I predicted in this very thread at the time, have short memories. It was not long before the American Left just plain forgot about 9/11.
