Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone

September 11 started the war. When will it end? Maybe never. Where is the battlefield? The entire world, including the United States. Who is an enemy combatant? Anyone the President says is an enemy combatant, including a U.S. citizen--no need for a charge, no need for a trial, no need for access to a lawyer.

A minor point that everyone should recognize - a fact of history. The "Mission Accomplished" war, the liberation of Kuwait, both attacks on the WTC, when even Rush Limbaugh and other right wing extremists acknowledged the cold war was over, etc are all directly traceable to one 'day when the world changed'. 1 August 1990. The day that Saddam invaded Kuwait. Event that resulted in reasons for a "Mission Accomplished" war.

One should also remember three names so much responsible for making those changes: Sec of State Baker, George Sr, and Margaret Thatcher.
