Another World War on the Distant Horizon
People often wonder how the two world wars started, in that how did a country as advanced as Germany get consumed by Hitler's ideals of attempting to take over Europe and erradicate the Jews, to the end that they thought nothing of killing millions?
I would go as far as to say it's happening again today in the way that Muslims are being vilified as all being terrorists intent on destroying the West. Things like this don't happen overnight, so they are not easy to spot. 9/11, when you could say it all started, was 6 years ago, and slowly but surely we are all being conditioned to accept this as normal.
Already we "accept" places like Guantanamo. How far away is that from a Nazi prison camp depicted in Schindler's List? ID cards are only a matter of time away, as is being imprisoned for 90 days (3 months!) without actually being convicted of a crime. We all have to have our DNA taken and stored in a database as soon as we are arrested, regardless of guilt.
Don't let it happen again!
