I fear we are slipping into darkness. The “war on terror” which is polarizing appears endless. We allow ourselves to be pulled into a conflict of competing ideologies and cultures. We vilify the “other” and allow ourselves to play the part of the villain.
This vague and formless war, executed by individuals – driven by personalities – proffers a situation conducive to the maintenance of a militarized state. The pundits say Americans are willing to give up some civil liberties in order to remain safe… in a war without a foreseeable end… what kind of culture, what kind of life will we make of this? How long into the future will these concessions continue to erode the thing that we call freedom?
It’s 1984 in Brazil and who knows where the children are?

Your post was very right on. Where will it end? How will it end? There is really no end in sight. This is basically a religious war, and humans love their religions.
