I can't think of a more perfect emblem of the triumph of mass American propaganda than people gathering to watch colorful representational bombing, completely divorced from the actual bombing their government does as a matter of course; and when that violence happens to bleed back upon our shores as it did on 9/11, to not ask why, but instead to use their unfettered self-righteousness and towering ignorance to demand that their government not only further curtail their own freedoms, but to also demand that their government commit -- you guessed it -- more bombing.

We're a long way from the point of demanding people connect the dots; we're at the point of merely asking them to consider that dots exist. Those frigging red, white, and blue dots.
