We really need to learn from our mistakes. In the run up and during WWII we ignored out laws and illegally imprisoned thousands of Americans who happened to have Japanese ancestors. In the run up to the cold war we illegally injected and sprayed radioactive shit in/on our citizens without informing them, just to see what would happen. After 9/11 we passed laws that created secret lists of people (including citizens) and illegally restricted their travel. Not to mention what the NSA has done.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
