Are the terrorists winning if they strip us of our everyday freedoms?

Answer 1

USA PATRIOT act. Enough said.

Answer 2

Yes they are, but you could rephrase this quesiton and ask.."Is the current administration's foreign policy having an impact on our freedom or personal safety"?, and undoubtedly it is.

Since we invaded Iraq the world has become a lot more dangerourous, not safer. There have been attacks in the UK which was never attacked before they became allies. So to answer your question the invasions and bombardments of Middle Eastern countries by us has defeinitely curatiled our personal everyday freedom and but us more at risk from attack.

Think about it..Why is it ok for us to cluster bomb bombard and massacre thousands of ordinary civilians but not ok when they attempt to do the same to us albeit on a much smaller scale. A case of double standards?

Answer 3

No. regardless of what just about all of people seem to imagine, there are a selection of, many countries contained in the international which have purely as a lot freedom because the U. S. yet do not get targeted with the aid of terrorists. this entire 'freedom' component is purely some thing it is performed on with the aid of the american authorities to target to whip up somewhat of patriotic fervour.

Answer 4

It won't be "they" who strip us of our freedoms. It'll be the greedy, paranoid military-industrialists who aren't afraid of murdering anyone. They want to spy on Americans who might oppose their power with legal and constitutional issues which could be proven as anti-constitutional and anti-American. The terrorists have been empowered by industrialists since the beginning of the fall of the Soviet Union, namely, in Afghanistan. The Mujahadeen was armed and supported by the West. In the Beginning...

Answer 5

Yep. I'd say that's probably the whole point isn't it? I mean they use an inexpensive tactic to put an entire nation into a panic and make that nation go into hyper-paranoia and start spending buttloads of money to keep safe and secure.

If you put people in danger and they have a lot to protect (e.g. stuff and toys) then the poor (without stuff and toys) can win easily by using cheap methods to freak out the "wealthier". What have they got to lose right?

This isn't a "war on terror". It's a "war on the poor".

Answer 6

They are not winning but we certainly are loosing all because the strategy we adopted to counter them is idiotic. The terrorism is like a star-fish, If we cut them they become double in numbers.
Therefore, without addressing the root causes & resolving the outstanding core issues of conflicts simultaneously, the constant use of "force only" against terrorists or extremists is making them stronger & stronger.

Answer 7

Wait....are you saying Bush is a terrorist? Because from where I am sitting he is the one passing things like the Patriot Act which eradicate some of our Constitutional rights.

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

THEY arent stripping away anything..OUR own government is doing all the stripping...mostly because they havent a clue how else to handle this problem.

Their answers are..."lets make the world safe for the rich"..instead ofmaking the world safe......so we pay the ultimate price while they sit back on their fat haunches and reap all thee rewards.....

Answer 10

In a way yes, but they are not taking our freedoms, the government is.
