From the Dutch Press: America on the way to a totalitarian state - by Thomas van der Dunk
In their attempt to label the failed Iraq adventure as a success, the American conservative neocons are now "spouting" all kinds of crazy theories and nonsense. Talk show host Kudlow in "The Price of Freedom" noted: "After President Bush moved the battle field against Al Qaida to Iraq the Al Qaida is now isolated to their own area and can therefore not attack the US anymore". In theory this seems to suggest that the Americans have installed something similar in Iraq to the Israeli constructed Palestine-ghetto wall and now have the situation under control, so that no more jihadist attacks are possible, and that the Americans are able to monitor all the jihadists activities. Of course nothing is more far removed from the truth than that statement.
The result of the American obsession with security can now be identified with waterboarding, Guantanomo Bay, and the Patriot Act. The Bush Administration has made it possible for Ben Laden to materialize what Hitler and Stalin never were able to achieve with Roosevelt and Eisenhower - forcing America to walk down the path of becoming a totalitarian state.
