"fascistic disposition" paragraph

[s~Z]

>>> In my opinion he meant to refer to the moment from which
on a country feels as being at war. <<<

This is how it reads to me, too. And I find it difficult to understand any
other way of reading it.

Which one? I said: "(...) a country attacked in general." If a country is
attacked these mechanisms begin to work. Everywhere. Always. Thus at the
moment too. Fact is that you can't rule out 9/11 <<<

No need to, he's not mentioning it, but it fits under the point above
alongside every other situation in which a country is attacked. The
statement is not about 9/11. It is about countries everywhere under attack.
A general principle. It can be applied to 9/11. It can be applied to Pearl
Harbor. It can be applied to Iraq. It can be applied to England. The most
specific context is the novel he's writing a foreword to. Beyond that, his
words keep it general.

>>>"With the homeland in danger, strong leadership and effective measures
become of the essence..." (x) -- which can be correctly paraphrased with
"homeland security." No need to rewrite anything, it's all there if one
wants to see it.<<<

And where and what is his point about homeland security?
