<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->If that happens, Franks said, â... the Western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty weâve seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy.â
Franks then offered âin a practical senseâ what he thinks would happen in the aftermath of such an attack.
âIt means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world â it may be in the United States of America â that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two steps, very, very important.â<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I agree, even after 9/11 its slowly turning into military state. Another 8 years of conservative rule can change everything.
But Europe may not change, they are too liberal now and lacks will to fight.
