Another Moonbat from the Carter Administration Toots His Horn

Jimmy Carter's term as president was thirty years ago, yet we are still dealing with the repercussions of his totally foolish, incompetent foreign policy. As if that's not bad enough, we get to hear Jimmah and his clowns like Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor, continually mouthing off with the stupidest, lamest ideas they can think of. Of course, they have an eager audience in the hate-America left.

The "war on terror" has created a culture of fear in America. The Bush administration's elevation of these three words into a national mantra since the horrific events of 9/11 has had a pernicious impact on American democracy, on America's psyche and on U.S. standing in the world. Using this phrase has actually undermined our ability to effectively confront the real challenges we face from fanatics who may use terrorism against us.
The damage these three words have done -- a classic self-inflicted wound -- is infinitely greater than any wild dreams entertained by the fanatical perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks when they were plotting against us in distant Afghan caves.

Isn't that rich? Using the phrase "War on Terror" has caused more damage than the three thousand people who were murdered in cold blood on 9/11. More than the 50 people who were murdered on 7/7 in the subway bombings in England. More than the 200 people who were murdered in the Bali nightclub bombing. Is it any wonder with such "intelligent" and "nuanced" advisors like Brzezinski, Jimmy was overhwelmingly voted out of office in 1980?

Some more words of wisdom from this raving genius:

But the little secret here may be that the vagueness of the phrase was deliberately (or instinctively) calculated by its sponsors. Constant reference to a "war on terror" did accomplish one major objective: It stimulated the emergence of a culture of fear. Fear obscures reason, intensifies emotions and makes it easier for demagogic politicians to mobilize the public on behalf of the policies they want to pursue.

Hey Einstein, the cause of the fear was not the phrase "War on Terror". The cause of the fear was those homicidal maniacs flying planeloads full of people into buildings on September 11, 2001. I can just imagine what was going on in your sick little twisted mind on that day. You were probably thinking that the USA deserved the terrorist attacks, weren't you?

That America has become insecure and more paranoid is hardly debatable.

Tell me something Zbig, how many terrorist attacks have there been in the USA since 9/11? We have become more secure from the efforts of the war on terror, not less. As for paranoia, I think you have cornered the market on that form of mental illness, with your paranoia about the war on terror.
