“Some would have us believe that concern over the gargantuan power held by a handful of men in Washington is beyond the pale of civilized conversation, yet this blind faith in American democracy is hardly warranted. Today’s president uses unbridled military might to destroy ‘rogue nations’ overseas, yet the day may again be approaching when that same power is used on ‘rogue Americans’ in our own neighborhoods. Today, Americans console themselves with the thought that ‘we’ are only destroying the lives of America-hating foreigners. Will we be so willing to brush aside the deaths of people whom the State tells us are ‘America-hating’ Americans?”
