America the paranoid

Yesterday's steam pipe explosion in New York City couldn't have been better timed. The accident was quickly determined not to be an act of terrorism; however, when the news first broke, surely most of us wondered if al-Qaeda had struck again. After all, just last week we learned that al-Qaeda has regrouped and grown stronger. We also learned that Michael Chertoff's innards told him that the U.S. is at high risk this summer for a terrorist attack.

All this because the Bush administration's "war on terror" has failed miserably.

And all this because the world's strongest and most powerful nation has become one of the world's most paranoid and belligerent nations.

And for what?
