The most frightening thing about the foiled plot to use liquid explosives to blow up airplanes over the Atlantic is that both the government and the aviation industry have been aware of the liquid bomb threat for years but have done little to prepare for it.Yes, well, we've been at war in Iraq in order to stop home-grown British terrorists from blowing up US airplanes.
Oh, that's right, no we're not. Iraq had and has nothing to do with stopping any of the terror plots that have been foiled since September 11. So why did we invade? We took out a state actor when state actors weren't the problem. And now we've got our military and intelligence (and monetary) resources bogged down in a war that has nothing to do with the actual threat we're facing.
So, basically, George Bush and Dick Cheney went on a wild goose chase while the terrorists continued to plot against us.
Like I've said before, I'm all for the war on terror. When does it start?
