They aren't mutually exclusive.
A strong nation guards its freedoms as much as (if not more) its borders.
The strength of America is its freedoms.

Personal freedoms are by far more important.
If Freedom is eroded for the sake of catching terrorists, then in effect, they've already won.
I would have no problem with the occasonal domestic attack on US soil, as long as US civilians cease to be monitored, arrested or harrassed, here or abroad.
Yes, even if my own family were victims. Freedom has a price; it's usually paid in blood.

It is because of our National Security that we have personal freedoms...

We have personal freedoms, because we are protected by our national security. This is why we have to finish the job in Iraq. The terrorists want to get in here in the worst way. without security we won't retain our freedom.

National security is first and foremost. Without national security, we would soon have no personal freedom.

Its a fine line between individual rights and our security. I want both.

Quoth Benjamin Franklin*: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
* It isn't actually sure that Benjamin Franklin wrote these words, but he did publish them, and they are commonly attributed to him. According to Wikiquote, it's believed that a diplomat, Richard Jackson is the author.

They are both equally important.
