Re: Decentralism against terrorism -- First lessons from the 9/1
I have always been in favor of rather rigid, but not extreme, measures of gun control. I have to admit that this event, and then this analysis of the event, makes me think again. A plane full of armed travelers in normal circumstances makes me very nervous. A plane full of armed travelers yesterday could have yielded a far better result that what we wound up with.
Second point. In the 1930's Germany and Japan ran amok throughout the world while everyone except the US fought them. It was only after Pearl Harbor that we gained the political backbone to stop the insanity. Terrorists have reigned over this earth for years as well. Perhaps now the US will step forward and do what only the US can do: seek, find, and destroy all of the peoplel responsible with a cold, calculated vengeance that sends a message everywhere.
