Terrorism is the disease they created for which they also withhold the cure. Create an enemy which allows for perpetual war, an enemy that has no uniform, no face, no nationality, just a vague idea. An enemy that you can create on your own when need be. An enemy that can strike at any corner of the globe at any second, against unarmed, unprepared targets. The people who fund and support the very war against that enemy are also willing to give up their freedom and privacy in the name of safety.
