False Doctrines
9-11 was an opportunity for doctrines false to the Constitution and the nature of our country to be codified as law and enacted in practice. The nation stood upon a turning point and was led toward centralized authority and pre-emptive war. Both doctrines are false and, combined, have caused insufferable grievances by citizens and foreign nationals alike -- grievances which must be righted to enable us to be secure and free again.
The Katrina hurricane tested these doctrines against reality, and the doctrines were found wanting. 9-11 and Katrina put us all at a turning point and, in the latter case, we began to understand that we need to decentralize all critical systems upon which our national life depends. Pre-emptive war drained the nation of key resources which could have helped the citizens living in the ravaged areas, making these situations even worse. Pre-emptive war is now an excuse for Government to deliver only misery, frustration and inaction. We expect more.
The sense of no confidence grows from the falseness of these doctrines and the real grievances citizens now have against, and from which they have the right to seek redress by, the Government.
