“Twelve years ago – when the ‘homeland’ was first invented (a smooth adaptation of Hitler’s ‘fatherland’) and TSA agents began frisking grandmothers – the whole thing seemed like a joke. It looked as though America’s leaders had gotten themselves into a hysterical panic. They thought al-Qaida really existed… that there were terrorist sleeper cells in every hamlet and burg… and that these infiltrators were about to wreak havoc on the nation. It was a preposterous lie, but we figured they’d come to their senses soon. Instead of coming to their senses, America’s leaders began to see the advantage of a war that could neither be won nor lost.”
