Oh, the Red Scare.
Communists everywhere.....just ask Oliver North.
Doesn't matter that we brought the Nazis into the US through a rat line called Operation Paperclip and set them up within our military, scientific, space and intelligence programs.
No, they served a PURPOSE.

Oh hell, then look at the MONEY we spent fighting those damn Communists at every turn!
Fear works every time. We are such needy creatures we armed the whole earth.
And now we're STILL fearful (I wonder why??)
Even turned on our own if we thought they were even the slightest bit "sympathic" (actually, not agreeing with OUR party line.....LOL)
So now what, we threaten our own one more time?
This war on terrorism.
It's the SAUDIS who were responsible for 9/11 and Bush, Cheney, Kissinger et al are all in bed with them.
People are so stupid, they can't see into the convenient power alliances.
Whoever or whatever is the favorite special interest group or enemy of the day.

Barf.
