Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “I’m Glad People Have This 9/11 Mentality Again”

The American public is finally terrified enough to support another war in the Middle East.

3) The militarization of the domestic police force.
4) Enormous expansion of our national debt to fund an imperial military presence overseas.
