What's most disturbing to me about the reaction to Krugman's remarks is that the US response to 9/11 (neocon & neolib war instigation versus treating it as a criminal act) has been amply demonstrated to be wrong on every front. It's cost trillions of dollars and we're no safer from terrorist attacks (and arguably we are more vulnerable to attacks -- We're certainly more hated) and have lost our civil liberties and destroyed our middle class in the process.
Yet the same people who brought us to this destruction are still in charge and continuing all of the same policies, while those of us who were correct and shouted down after 9/11 are still trying to reason with the neocons & neolibs.
When are we going to realize that there is no reasoning with the power hungry/greedy and work to get them out of government and ourselves into the driver's seat?
