"In response to the attacks on the #Pentagon and #WorldTradeCenter 22 years ago, the #US showed that there is no tragedy that government can't make worse.

Neoconservatives led a bipartisan push to invade #Afghanistan and #Iraq. Congress passed the Patriot Act. The #FBI stepped up operations targeting Muslims, but also environmental activists. Politicians militarized the police.

The occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan cost nearly a million lives, driving more people to join the jihadists. The rise of the Islamic State a decade later showed that the invasions had only strengthened the forces that neoconservatives claimed to be attacking. The Taliban recapturing Afghanistan in 2021 confirmed the pointlessness of the invasions.

By any metric, the stability of the US government has eroded since 2001. Every time the authorities escalate the conflicts they expose us to and the control they hope to wield over us, they are taking a risk."

@ErikUden
I think if anyone sent me to a re-education camp, I would afterwards feel even more hostile to the country that meted out this treatment.

I see no reason why anyone with an 'extreme hatred of Britain' should react any differently.

In fact, by holding them together in a group, this is presumably more likely to breed terrorist plots than discourage them?
