security. freedom. prosperity of the general population. the "war on terror," from our heavy handed attempt at iraqi "liberation" to support of israel's crimes against humanity, we are making the world even more dangerous than it already is. The only way to stop terrorism is to stop participating in it. Those who question By fanning this hatred, we only ensure retaliation, except now, there are new precedents. Before 9/11, they only bombed our embassies and military bases. Post 9/11, it has been proven that we on the mainland are not so impervious...
what have we given up? our privacy. our right to a fair and timely trial before a jury f our peers. It begins with the United States' definition of terrorism, which is so loose as to imply that anyone can be considered a terrorist for simply opposing U.S. policy. Post 9/11, they through out a lot of "un." unpatriotic, unamerican, and in the name of it all, stripped us of our rights. Now that's UnAmerican and UnPatriotic.
And as far as the general population, more people now are on the edge of falling below the mean income than in the last ten years. Poverty rates are up. Everyone is feeling the crunch as it gets more expensive to go to school yet even afterward, they're less high paying jobs to go around. Americans these days are working the longest work hours of any developed nation. So essentially, we are working more for less.
Everything I have written is a matter of public record. It is not based on controversial fact. The war against terror is more like a war of terror....against all of us

To much. Way to much in lives and money. Twenty six hundred American military dead. Forty thousand American military wounded and over one hundred thousand dead civilians not to mention the almost one trillion dollars of American taxpayers money.
