Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust?

WND reports a story explaining why, since 9/11, we haven't seen much activity in the US from "Sammy" bin Laden:
Simple, says Dr. Jack Wheeler, creator of an acclaimed intelligence website dubbed "the oasis for rational conservatives": The U.S. has threatened to nuke the Muslim holy city of Mecca should the terror leader strike America again.
IF this is true, there is hope that someone in the Pentagon with some influence knows what they are doing. The only way to stop these people is to make their price for action very costly. Vaporizing Mecca would be highly effective.

On the other hand, if this is true and we have Sammy bin Laden at bay and under control, why are we still passing laws and expanding government, all in the name of "security"? Maybe "security" is the excuse, and government control and expansion is the true agenda.

After all, government needs a boogie-man. If there is no "threat", we don't need more government. The "threat" is the justification for surrendering your liberties.
