Ruminate on this...
Greetings loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader just had a horrible idea. In a Scotch whisky induced fog while watching a movie with Mrs. Maximum Leader an idea popped to the forefront of his mind.
Earlier in the day, your Maximum Leader read a series of articles on the failure of US intelligence agencies to predict/stop the 9/11 attacks. (Some are here, and here.) Now, surely all Americans can agree the attack on the US was a horrible tragedy. And we may further agree that we (Americans) are now motivated to take on various threats to our nation in a fashion we would not have prior to the attacks. Having said that, had we stopped the 9/11 attacks before they happened would the world be a safer place today? Would it less safe? Would our safety be unchanged?
Your Maximum Leader will have to mull this one over more.
Carry on.
