No, I don't think so, Goldie. If you rounded up every 'terrorist' in the entire world, you'd have... what? Less then a brigade of them? You think that can even come close to the Soviet threat during the long years of the Cold War... or the threat of the Axis Powers during WW II? Hell, those are two VASTLY more significant and dangerous foes that have been defeated --- just within the lifetimes of you and I! (Hell... in just a few years we may know that al Qaeda doesn't even rank up there with Bird Flu in the 'threat' category, likely in just a few years the Chinese military threat will be seen as a much larger issue....) Only we OURSELVES can bring defeat upon our fair land... and only by being really PREDICTABLE and acting VERY STUPIDLY, and abandoning the very things that have made America great... and the very things that lead to our victory in the Cold War --- as threadbare communists around the world longed for the freedoms and material wealths our better system of government and society offered.

ORWELL'S 1984 BRITAIN IS AT HAND: A brilliant article in The Times by Lord Rees Mogg. Sample: "In the history of Britain there have been many periods when liberty was threatened. The immediate threat is a government with a lust for control, with little respect for liberty or for the House of Commons, but enjoying the opportunity of using new technologies for social control. The British are certainly less free than we were in 1997 or 2001. The fight back will be laborious and difficult, but there is a new mood. We do not want to reach 1984 25 years behind schedule in 2009." Read it at LINK: timesonline.co.uk
