This does it even better:

The War on Terrorism is over. Terrorism won.

In a coordinated series of strikes targetting infrastructure, symbols  
of unity, and food distribution, terrorism destroyed the United  
States. Much like certain viruses, only a small amount of damage was  
done by the terrorists themselves. Instead they caused the country to  
societally tear itself apart.

Arguments over how to deal with the attacks turned to general  
mistrust turned to violence. Election results were ignored and  
invalidated because 'the people' had failed to turn in a result that  
the powerbrokers could live with, Red state turned on blue state  
turned on each other.

Security justifies everything, 'freedom' has been perverted away from  
its original meaning, the economy is in the toilet, and what was once  
the world's most powerful military is rotting away in the field as  
the will, money, and technical sophistication to keep it going have  
all rotted away.

Papers please.
