Stop Being Afraid

in #anarchy8 years ago

There is really only one way to win a war on terrorism: Stop being afraid!
Achieving this victory does not require large armies, invasions, illegal spying, torture, detention camps, Kangaroo courts, or multi-billion dollar Congressional appropriations. Neither does it require us to shred the Bill of Rights or the Geneva Conventions. All it requires is a little backbone. And a little common sense.
The minute the first politician proposed the first imposition on the Bill of Rights, or the first call to invade Iraq, or the first request for large new bureaucracies to fight this tiny dot, the terrorists won, and we lost.
And they've been winning, and we've been losing, ever since. Terrorists aim to cause fear,
and by feeling fear we've given them what they want.
Can we stop being afraid of terrorists, foreign and domestic?
Can you?

Sort:  

It all comes down to us and them.
If they're not us then they're them.
We can't control them.
What we can't control we must fear.
What we fear we must destroy.
The only way to prevent this is to make them us.
When us is everyone no matter who they are, where they live, who they worship, then there will be no need to fear, no need to destroy.

We are willing to do this, but they are not.
So they must be destroyed so we can live in peace.
