So Mr. Chertoff’s tummy tells him America should be prepared for a terrorist attack this summer. Radley Balko makes a point I’m fond of making but he does it so much better.
Radley Balko is so great on some other issues (like socialized medicine, you’d really hate him Mike) but when it comes to foreign policy he holds the record for ass-to-anal head implantation.
According to him, and others who seem to think that a law enforcement approach to terrorism is best, we should all just sit around and pretend like terrorist attacks are natural disasters. Nothing we can do until they happen, at which point we should just pick up the pieces and keep moving on.
Which is a bunch of bunk. If we can prevent 9/11’s, we should prevent 9/11’s. And preventing them means fighting the terrorists in Iraq.
Leaving Iraq means leaving the terrorists more resources to attack us in the west. Which, again, is an acceptable thing if you think it’s ok to just sit at home and play defense.
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
