"We're fighting them over there so we don't need to demonstrate a total lack of logic over here."


So, if you're fighting them over there so you don't have to fight them over here, and you really are fighting them over there, logically then you shouldn't need to be worried about fighting them over here, which makes all of this Patriot Act/extra surveillance/ethnic profiling/curtailing of civil liberties stuff unnecessary, no?

No, wait, come back ... do not let my devastating grasp of logical analysis frighten you off. I mean you no harm ...

Yeah, if that whole "we're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here" argument was the original rationale for war, and was backed by actual, substantial intelligence, the whole Iraq invasion never would have happened.

Logic? pfft!

It's all about control, as is most aptly summed up in dave's beware sidebar, and logic ain't got nuttin' to do with it.
