I am worried for our collective mental health. I don't know what the correct coping method should be, but it can't be this.
And that is the whole point. This PNAC operation has had lasting value for the Republicans. It was intended to shock, awe, and confuse us. In our state of mental dissaray, the Republicans can steal the US Treasury. I believe the Neocons knew the great criminal and propaganda value their "Second Pearl Harbor" would have before even planning it.
IMO, part of the recovery process involves accepting that there are people who call themselves Americans who put party. wealth and power above country; that there are people who call themselves Americans who are willing to commit treason and mass murder to achieve their goals. We call these people Republicans.
