They seem to be able to buy into the rhetoric: <br /><br />"Terrorists are bad, i must stop terrorists, so this country that my intelligence force tells me is associated with terrorists must be stopped". <br /><br />or "Nuclear energy is clean and good and safe - my regulatory agency surely has a handle on the safety aspects and they tell me everything is OK. My buddy who is CEO of GE says it's fine - and he has some of the best engineers in the world, so even though I don't understand a thing about it, I should follow their advice.".<br /><br /><br />Ironically, by building secret wars, you're actually becoming a terrorist organization. <br /><br />JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
