It's also an opportunity for Americans to recall that international politics 
is real, and that events outside the US CAN reach inside our borders to 
affect the lives of American people.  Since  the USSR gave up the 
opposition, there's nothing to really hold the US in check, and the creeping 
tendency to neglect the rights of American citizens has certainly developed 
as well in international relations.

Years ago, the Cold War kept the country on guard, but like some guy said on 
one of the channels, our security system was put in place in 1948.  If 
American politicians are going to mess with radical nationalist groups, then 
they'd better cover their butts (and their borders) just a little better.
