I think the real fear shouldn't be so much what America could do to other countries (as that has already been seen and well-documented for those who
care to look), nor should it be what they can do to America (as the answer is really not so much), but more what the American government might be able
to do its own people.
With full knowledge of how much we have invested in our own military industrial complex since WWII, whole bureaucracies sit behind veils of secrecy,
unaccountable to the people in whose name they supposedly operate, and with their own massive amounts of funding, strong connections, and advanced
technology, it would be true to say we exist at their whim.
I can see governments around the rest of the world seeing this, and though I don't think they are any better than the American state in a fundamental
sense, I wouldn't be surprised if they ever took a chance at one knock out blow, just like how it was portrayed in "One Minute After", a brilliant
and frightening book.
Predictions are guesswork, but this concern shouldn't be.
