[lit-ideas] Re: Stasi on our Minds

From the NYRB, two books that compare and contrast ancient Rome with current 
day U.S.:
   
  "What's more, Bush's "war on terror" did bin Laden's work for him. Brzezinski 
is not alone in suggesting that it was a mistake to treat September 11 as an 
act of war, rather than as an outrageous crime; in so doing, the administration 
endowed al-Qaeda with the status it craved. ... What began as a fringe sect has 
become, thanks in no small measure to the Bush administration, a global 
movement able to draw on deep wells of support."

  It's no wonder Cindy Sheehan gave up.  As ignorant as the day is long, 
Americans deserve what they have.
