But the main lesson of these events should be at the polar opposite: the states that rule over us, and pretend to protect us, should be as different as possible from the tyrants or would-by tyrants who commit these horrendous crimes. Whatever rights we relinquish, whatever power we give to our own states, we will never be perfectly protected against violence — if only against violence from our protectors, but there is more to it than this. The lingering question is, How is it that our powerful states, the American state first among them, cannot protect us against murderers who must have planned for months, if not years, a concerted action to highjack a number of planes and crash them on different objectives? How is it possible that a state which spends more than a third of what people produce in the United States, a state that has the FBI, the CIA, the BATF, the NSA, army intelligence, satellite spies, Carnivore, etc. — how is it possible that this state cannot discover and kill an extended terrorist plot on its very own territory? Even limited by the Constitution, the American state is the most powerful state in the history of mankind, and it won't do to answer that it lacks power to accomplish its protection mission. --------------------------------------- Attacking Freedom by: Russell Madden http://www.zolatimes.com/V5.38/attack_freedom.html -------------------------------------- Hooters and Terrorism: Wonder Woman and BCCI by: Bill Clinton http://www.zolatimes.com/V5.38/wonder_woman_bcci.html -------------------------------------- Armed Conflict in America, Part 2: The Legal Hierarchy by: Robert L.
