GWB keeps telling us that we were attacked because "they" hate our freedoms. Then why do we keep giving them up so easily?

Tommy Franks,Commander in Chief, United States Central Command.
"What is the worst thing that can happen in our country? A nexus between weapons of mass destruction and terrorism. Second, the western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we've seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy. If a massive casualty-producing event causes our population to question our own Constitution and we begin to militarize our country we ain't seen nothing yet. If terrorism's sting is felt again, fascism may be its aftermath."

The whole point of terrorism is to bring terror to the people and to alter the peoples lifestyle, with each right we lose it is another victory for the terrorist. The freedoms and rights that we have lost because of George Bush, not 9/11 is a win for Usama.

Ben was right so was Patrick Henry when he said 'Give me liberty or give me death" He wasn't crying for safety laws. Our forefathers thought Liberty was worth dieing for sadly many Americans today cheaply give it away in the name of safety.

I don't know if they win in that scenario, but it seems absolutely clear that we would lose.
