When Stu Bykofsky, a columnist for The Philadelphia Daily News, wrote a column last week in which he openly hoped that America suffers “another 9/11,” he merely had the poor judgment to say what many a right-wing politician and pundit is thinking.

Evidence for this is everywhere: in the fact that Bykofsky was invited to appear on the GOP’s unofficial network, Fox News, to “explain” his comments; in the keen disappointment that ripples throughout the right-wing blogosphere every time the collapse of a bridge or a steam pipe explosion turns out not to have been the work of Scary Brown People Who Hate Our Freedoms; and in predictions such as that made by former Sen. Rick Santorum, that the GOP’s electoral fortunes will improve as soon as there’s another terrorist attack.

Indeed, at this point one can practically see these people wringing their hands in frustration at the apparent inability of “the terrorists” to kill a few Americans somewhere (preferably in a solidly red state, although New York or California would do in a pinch), so as to once again give war a chance.

It didn’t “change everything,” and it didn’t (and doesn’t) justify the Iraq war, indiscriminate spying on Americans, extrajudicial renditions, torture, or any of the other immoral actions that continue to be done in its name.

1. I just read that Chinese are now allowing mass monitoring due to fear of terrorism.

'Fear of Terrorism':
1) Terrorism: a tactic that attempts to create fear in the public to attain political objectives
2) Political objectives: desired changes to the politicies of a state, such as installing mass srvelliance systems.

So China has allowed massive political changes to be enacted out of fear of the tactic that uses fear to enact massive political changes.

Fuck this is dumb.

9. People who connect their 'success' to any kind of conditions, tend to create those conditions.

We see this over and over in many ways ... it's a 'rescuer syndrome.' Firefighters are the people most often committing arson - along with others who benefit. In business, I've seen uncountable examples of people who promulgate the kinds of chaos under which they got pats on the back.
