The Onion, как и всегда, отражает окружающую реальность намного объективнее, чем это делают "официальные" СМИ.
U.S. To Fight Terror With Terror
"It's vital to remember that these terrorists hate freedom," Rumsfeld said. "Well, guess what? From now on, we're going to hate it even more. Do you think terrorists care about due process and fair treatment of prisoners? Of course not. Why should we give them the upper hand? You fight fire with fire."
Cheney restated that the goal of the new policy is to put an end to terror around the world, once and for all.
"It's time to get this war over with," Cheney said. "The philosopher Eric Hoffer said, 'You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.' Well, we've been observing, but finally we've started taking notes. We'll have these terrorists running scared in no time."
Cheney urged Americans to "be on alert" in upcoming months.
"Seneca once said, 'To be feared is to fear: No one has been able to strike terror into others and at the same time enjoy peace of mind,'" Cheney said. "If we want these terrorists to fear the U.S., we as a people need to be filled with fear. Expect to see more heavily armed, uniformed officers, both at home and abroad."
Бросьте читать NYT, Time, Washington Post, прекратите смотреть CNN. Вас зомбируют. Все "официальные" газеты и журналы нужно спустить в сортир, а зомбоящик раскурочить нафиг или, там, выкинуть в какое-нибудь похабное место. А нужно читать один лишь The Onion, пять раз в день. Это чрезвычайно важно.
Иначе каюк.
