QotD: The political aftermath of 9/11

Five years ago, on September 11th, 2001, a small, grubby handful of moral retards murdered 3000 individuals in America, and the more chicken-hearted among us immediately soiled their delicate collective undergarments. The ugly smell that resulted we now call "Homeland Security".

At the time, some of the worst people in this country wielded the most power and wealth (they still do, regrettably), and they cynically exploited the terrible situation to pursue an evil, murderous course, the principal purpose of which was to get them even more power and wealth.
