novus ordo seclorum [ Rants ]
Between the warbloggers and the news coverage and the President himself, this seems like an odd way to go to war.
The eves of conflict aren't usually calm happy places, but this is decidedly different. Is this what our society will be like from now on? A constant state of emergency and fear, international crises turned into armed conflict, and privacy exchanged for a small dose of security against waves of paranoia? An economy too weakened by fear to recover, and citizens told not to stand tall, not to make our nation the shining example of freedom and equality and democracy that it can be, but instead to merely buy our way out of our problems.
What if this is the way society will be?
