[ QUOTE ]
in what ways do you make America safer following the attacks on 9/11 without scaling up government power in any way?

[/ QUOTE ]

By scaling DOWN government power. Projection of government power overseas is one of the major reasons Al Queda is pissed off in the first place.

Al Queda's stateless nature is what makes them hard to pin down and target. If America were similarly stateless, the "asymmetrical" matchup would suddenly be a lot more symmetrical.

If the US has no coercive foreign policy, and instead only engages in free, voluntary trade, what objection can Al Queda have?

If the US has no policy-making body that can be swayed, what can AQ hope to accomplish?
