The Neocons were right!

Now I finally appreciate the Neocon genius.

Muslims hate us for our freedoms. Duh! Our beloved CIC has been trying to explain that, but I wouldn't listen. Only a naive fool like Pat Buchanan would imagine Muslims resent us for overthrowing their governments, propping up pro-US tyrants in the Middle East, and launching wars against them.

Since Muslims hate us because we're so free, the Neocons are legalizing torture, warrantless surveillance, and curtailing habeas for a brilliant reason -- once the US becomes yet another authoritarian regime, our enemies won't hate us anymore. No more worry about terror attacks.

Why didn't I see that sooner?
