re: "Menace of invasion??" Those bastards came into our country and killed 3,000 Americans
"A people living under the perpetual menace of war and invasion is very easy to govern. It demands no social reforms. It does not haggle over expenditures on armaments and military equipment. It pays without discussion, it ruins itself, and that is an excellent thing for the syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for whom patriotic terrors are an abundant source of gain."
It also describes OBL and the Taliban (et al) very well.
