Lessons From 9/11:

1. Do not let tragedies put you in a state of mind which allows you to be manipulated into becoming the very thing you claim to oppose. Warfare is based on lies. Politicians engage in ‘threat inflation’ (and explicit lies), a necessary tactic to get people to put their lives on the line unnecessarily.

2. Doing nothing is better than doing something bad and counterproductive.

3. Civilians frequently have to bear the cost of decisions made by politicians (blowback), when a few politicians and contractors and soldiers benefit at the expense of their domestic population.

4. People who pay no price for being wrong or acting immorally (politicians) are more likely to act recklessly since they are coercively funded with taxation and face legal immunity with regard to killing civilians.

5. God says ‘Thou Shalt Not Murder’, he does not make exceptions for people born in distant geographical areas.

6. The inequality between the state and the citizenry is the most dangerous inequality in society.

7. It shouldn’t take an act of terrorism for Americans to unify. Americans should be proud of the achievements of workers and entrepreneurs in the voluntary sector who raised the worlds living standards to heights never imagined by Kings or Queens of the past.
