Oy.
I tried to compose a simple explanation for why my country is such a
bullying control freak, but there always seemed to be another pertinent
point to add, and my "simple" explanation started looking like a POV-Ray
3.7 release candidate.
So I'll just leave you with two words: Money. Fear.
(I'm tempted to add fundamentalist Christianity. However, my analysis
is that the hyper-religious Americans--including politicians who are
under the delusion that they run this country--are being punked by money
via use of fear.)

Would you add Jingoism to your list?

I stand corrected. I'm always getting those two mixed up.
