and terrifying rebels
.
.
.
9/11
was an attack
in the heart of the
American Civilization.
Over the course of
the subsequent
decade
with the goal of
bringing justice, stability and democracy,
the world had built an army with tax money, worth one million houses worth one million
dollars. Many thousands had to die in combat, lives are missing now in the dreams,
more have suffered, and still are, from the chaos of
the two wars.
Lives
and money and
houses so eerily needed now.
.
One
terrorist
acted and the
most powerful country
fell into a vicious self-destructive
circle. Bravo? How could the attack turn the nation
in such an agony? In the past, when a country had been
attacked, the subsequent increase in fear amongst the population resulted in a
call for a strong central authority. This usually reduced the check-and-balance effect
of the Montesquieu' separation of the powers. It's an old reflex taken over
from the old kingdoms that had proven itself useful for modern
western democracies in their fights against the axes
of evil or the red army. Terrorists were
usually not strong enough
to create such
a strong
fear
.
But
towers as
symbols of power
have always been overrated.
There was no axes of evil, and there was
no civilization that was about to destroy the American one
Only the illusion of it, aroused by the opportunistic rhetoric of the
establishment. The terrorists' act was so frightening, it succeeded provoking
the Achilles heal of western democracies, that is the transfer of power to the executive
in fearful times. The message of the attack was able to awake the oh-so-destructive
kingdom's reflexes
any mother prays her family to be protected of. Torture was suddenly necessary.
The secret services had increased power. The media was (self-) censored.
Social reforms were halted. The financial markets resources
diverted to increase
fire
power and
not to innovation.
.
I'm sure at least
fifty-one percent of the Americans felt
already back then the same aversion and distrust towards
the once-and-for-all tactics and couldn't understand how they
could be training warlords all over the world in fighting freedom
fighters, yet anyway let escape the terrorist for so long. I think
most Americans wanted their government to react differently, from
the start, from the evening of the 11th September. It seems
it divided the nation in two camps that in their agony
couldn't understand each other anymore, starting
and feeding the vicious self-destructive
circle, that later led to the
Babylonian political
debate culture
we see
today

Any president bears an unbearable burden
when trying to rebuild a country destroyed and divided by war
why i can recommend only to the Afghan people
to opt rather for a directorial executive
and share the burden amongst seven equal councilors.
