Well, we apparently got through the holiday without a terrorist incident. Or did we? Every city, town, aand rural area was on high alert with an expanded police presence. $$$$$$ Our intelligence apparatus was working overtime. $$$$$$ Sophisticated weapons and detection equipment was bought and deployed to major cities and public places. $$$$$$ Our military was put on high alert. $$$$$$ Traffic and travel was made harder and a bit slower. $$$$$$ Many of our military planes were flying to be ready to respond quickly. $$$$$$ BUT, we were politically correct, we didn't say anything to piss off the terrorists. When you take into account every precaution that was taken this weekend across the country, this alert probably cost the economy a trillion dollars. Since 9/11 we have probably spent (including Iraq and Afghanistan) 25-35 trillion dollars. BUT, we were politically correct. We don't piss off the Muslims. When are we going to say enough!
I'll admit that I don't have the solution to this but I'm getting damn sick and tired of this bullshit.
