If there is another 9/11, what would happen?

[ck4829]

Who should we hold accountable?

Should we listen to the RW'ers and round up the Muslims and send them all to Concentration Camps?

OR

Should the American People hold the Bush Administration accountable?

[DireStrike]

1. Can't talk in "should"s

But I wish we could.

The cynics will tell you exactly what will happen - is it self-fulfilling prophecy through visualization, or are they just always right?

2. They would blame Clinton. For sure. No doubt. Clinton every time.

BushyBot does no wrong so it is Clinton. The last real president this country had.

They probably already have news releases prepared for all types of scenarios. Trip on a shoelace - Clinton, civil war, yep, Clinton. Impeachment - yeah, that's Clinton's fault, too. Emperor BushyBot has so ordered.

3. I am afraid

If there is another 9/11 it's over.
Depending on the scope of the attack, the place, and the number of people impacted, it could be over for us.
Martial law.
Checkpoints.
Deep suspicion and troops on the streets with automatic weapons.


I don't even want to think about the other option.

The people rise up and say enough is enough.

Do you remember Tienanmen Square?

That's what would happen.

5. agreed. martial law and the complete suspension of ALL liberties

Once martial law is in force, a resistance would be difficult, if not impossible, to launch.
Unfortunately, we are undone by technology.
In WWII, for example, the French resistance was possible because there was lowtech or notech, and keeping track of people was difficult, papers were easy to forge, there were large areas of unpatrolled borders, people could pose as other people fairly easily, because by the time the ID could be checked, the people would be long gone.

Technology will prevent any credible resistance to fascism this time around, but once martial law is in place, ID chips will be implanted subdermally that can be traced via satellite. It will be nearly impossible to pose as other people, to move unfettered or to escape oppression because it will follow you around wherever you go. It will literally be underneath your own skin.

6. That footage of Tienanmen Square is strangely exhilarating

I've always wondered if I would have the courage to physically obstruct a tank like that, under such circumstances.

I'd love to know what was going through the mind of the driver in those moments.

4. They would used it as more political fodder that we need the

Bush admin to protect us. And then they will push through more real bad legislation (patriot 2-10 etc).

12. And then comes Civil War....

Really, the chances of another Civil War in this country are going up all the time now.

[democracy eh]

7. very little

of limited shock value unless it is a nuke

look at the level of destruction and death people have become immune to on their TV's - 9/11. Iraq, Tsunami

another attack would be pretty routine, after all it is a time of endless war

[Deja Q]

8. As I got blasted yesterday, this what-if stuff is pointless and fruitless.

Let's wait and see, and react accordingly.

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. Martial law here at home

[BiggJawn]

10. There WILL be "another 9-11"

Just like there WILL be "another 1-10" tomorrow.
In fact, I can guarantee it will come the day after 9-10.

11. HOLD THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTABLE!

How can we do it?

For starters, learn all you can about holding the Bush Administration accountable for 9/11:

13. I think it would end the Republican party for a long long time.

[Greylyn58]

14. I'm not sure who

would be held accountable.

But considering how Shrub and especially Dickweed pounded the airwaves with their mantra "Only we can keep you safe" -- I think we should rub it back in their faces for all its worth.

God help us if it were to occur, but I know I would not shut up after-wards. I would yell at the top of my lungs that this administration claimed they were the only ones who could protect us and "THEY DIDN'T DO SQUAT!!"

But that's just me. :)
