So I picked up two friends from LAX today and was thinking about this latest terrorist mess. No liquids, basically no carry-ons, no etc. May not have been able to kill anyone, but it sure makes us look silly so it's still a nominal victory for them.
Which leads to a greater point. By using signal intelligence Demos want to ban, and British internal security we simply don't have, we were able to stop one plot at the cost of some freedom and major disruptions all around. Aka, this is the face of the world the anti-war Demos want to live in...constantly eroding freedoms in a reactionary defense that tries to minimize lost life not prevent the loss of life.
Something to remember the next time you hear someone deluding themselves about this being 'a war you can't win militarily.' Not only is this a war that can be won with armies, it's one that MUST be won with armies over there if we're to preserve the freedoms inherent of liberal democracies.
