The same facts that draw concern for some create fear in others. And please tell me in the aftermath of 9/11 how you could expect someone to stand back and say "hmmmmm.......This is concerning".
A far more realistic expectation of reaction to the world we live in is "Holy Crap, This is some scary **it, happening here".

During and in the days after 9/11 I was indeed afraid as were many.
But take Iraq as a prime example.
Knowing what we know now, there was no evidence to support fearing Iraq...but there was evidence for serious concern.
Yet, the public's position on Iraq was driven entirly by fear which was intentionally marketed to us.
As such there was insufficient objectivity among those who enforce accountability (Congress and the people).
The result has been a string of terrible and corrupt policy which has done great harm to our Nation.

I will most likely be harrased for this but I still like John Dean. Too left you say -well maybe we need a little left to make up for the fascist we have running our gov. now. No international experience - what did George II have . Did you hear him this morning on the Today show -the man can't string a sentence together.

Ah yes those evil right wing fascists! Its funny though, guys like you with your radical views, and pure hatred for Bush, never show any anger toward the real evil fascists in this world today, you know, radical islam. You have more anger towards Bush than the radicals who want us killed. Its truly sad and i feel sorry for you.

I think you meant Howard Dean?
As an aside, John Dean's new book "Conservatives Without Conscience" is really good
