Government control?

Never said it would have justified the use of WMDs, I was just saying that Flonne had egregiously underestimated 9/11.

Flonne; Nope, not what I said. You had just commented that 9/11 "wasn't as bad as people make it out to be," when it is by far the most important event of the 21st century thus far.

Just because it was the single most important even in American history in the 21st century doesn't mean it should be. While of course it's significant from an emotional perspective, it was relatively inconsequential in that the event did not directly impact a significant portion of the population. In a more apathetic, or perhaps impartial, world, global warming or economic disparity or constitutional rights would be the defining issue of our generation.

We used to have a saying in debate, anything published before 9/11 was irrelevant and inadmissible.
