Everything's Terror In The United States Of Hysteria

As soon as news filtered out of a steam pipe blast in Manhattan yesterday evening, everyone's first thought was terrorism, proving once again that in the six terror free years since 9/11, the Bush administration has created a United States of hysteria - and handed the terrorists a victory they could never have achieved alone - changing our very way of life.

...

There hasn't been a terror attack inside America for nearly six years and yet everyone's first thought whenever something's amiss is that it's terrorism, when in every case since 9/11, be it Corey Lidle's errant Cirrus SR20 plane striking a Manhattan apartment block or the ridiculous farce of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force advertising campaign, nothing is going on except the runaway paranoia generated solely by our government's promise that a new attack in inevitable and imminent.

Keeping fear alive and in your mind 24 hours a day. Now go shopping.

Be very afraid here.
