No, geep, I wouldn't say you're a fascist. I still take issue with the statement that 9/11 changed everything, but I completely agree with your assessment that the end of the Cold War changed the face of global conflict. The depolarization did provide America with a new multitude of enemies who could no longer be cowed simply by a massive nuclear arsenal. 9/11 was simply an object lesson. However, I don't think that force of arms is the proper solution, nor do I believe sacrificing freedom in the name of security is ever acceptable. I would rather see my whole family die in a terrorist bombing than let the government imprison innocent people unjustly simply because they are the same racial group as a previous terrorist.
But you're not a silly old man.
