More news from who cares department. According to the rumor mill McCain strategist, Charlie Black, said that an attack on US soil would help McCain in the election. For some reason people find the truth offensive. Here’s a little truth for you. Police like crime. If there were no crime then they wouldn’t be getting new cars every year, fancy equipment, or promotions. If crime drops then you have layoffs on the police department. It is a simple fact of life that some people make money directly or indirectly off other people’s misfortune. The security and counter terrorism industry started booming after 9/11 and if you are a stock holder in one of those companies you know that as long as there’s fear and hype of another attack you will be making money.

There is no morality in the issue as it is merely the way the universe works. Therefore Charlie Black did not really say anything offensive or morally wrong. It’s a simple fact that Americans like payback and if we are attacked before the election we’ll be calling to drop nukes on the most likely suspect country. Though now that McCain’s campaign has openly said this, it is almost assured that there won’t be an attack. Having McCain as President would be the absolute last thing Osama Bin Laden would want. The terrorists will be quiet until after the election.
