I don’t know why you think this is a germane response to me.

?? I think the obvious parallel is that in both Cold War & War on Terror you had both a real problem but also a hysterical over-reaction based on threat inflation. So fact that communist espionage was real doesn't justify what Cold War liberals did.

I mean, that's exactly the point. The GWOT and McCarthyism were both awful, but responses to an actual threat. An overblown threat in terms of bolsheviks and terrists lurking in every corner tryna take muh freedoms, but 'not a problem' isn't really correct for them, either.

What
@lunchstealer said. Obviously I have a lot of objections to “The War on Terror.” That’s sort of my whole career. But terrorism is a real problem and we should have policy responses to it.
