We are doomed to failure, either because we are unable to stop the next big terrorist attack or because our leaders strip us of our rights and freedoms to prevent the next big terrorist attack or because they focus so much on the next big terrorist attack that they fail to prepare for the next big natural disaster. Do these people *ever* question their own abilities or decisions? Are they so blind to their own incompetance or are they aware of it, but refuse to abdicate power to someone that is more capable? I guess it doesn't really matter. We will continue to encourage and reward incompetance until the mushroom cloud rises over New York. Then we'll just try to find someone to blame. It's easier for our leasers to blame someone after the fact than it is to prevent the problem in the first place.

These "privacy" meetings are always allowed total secrecy in Europe, it must drive them bonkers when the meetings take place in the US and American journalists assume they are welcomed because we have a "free press." Communitarian integration in the US proceeds best when it's behind closed doors. Brilliant piece of writing, thank you so much for this.
