It seemed that the US govt. recently like to use fear to introduce alot of draconian measures to impose on the freedom on its people and then later to the rest of the world...... detention without trial (patriot act)/ airport security measures/ body scanners etc... but the irony is that US always criticized about other communist countries like Russia or China for not caring about human rights and freedom etc, and now they are doing exactly the same or even more. US govt seemed to be more like "BIG Brother" now than ever before with this 'Cybe tsar" move......and with the recent govt bailouts on the financial firms, technically speaking aren't such actions very socialistic/communistic??...... I really hope the Amercian people would really wake up and do something about it before it is too late.......Sigh....
