I think the situation today is a teeny bit different then it was in the day of Patrick Henry where a well placed WOMD could kill millions don't you......
Even if "times are different", his words still ring true.
Seriously? I am NOT worried about WMDs. We've got them right here in the U.S.....as a matter of fact, we had to halt a gate reconstruction project over at Pope AFB last year because they started digging and they found cannisters of mustard gas. Our nation has the most nuclear capacity of any other in the world. So what exactly are we worried about? We've had almost as many soldiers die in Iraq as those that died on 9/11.....and for what?

I live in the greatest country in the world and am not a chained up dog...How quickly you liberals forget 9/11/01..I can remember on 9/12/01 I thought we would have and terrorist attack every month........Well we haven't had any attacks.........I can give up a few civil liberties if it keeps this country safe.......
Thank you President Bush and Secretary Ashcroft and a special thanks for the PA which the dems are trying to destroy now...........
No one's forgotten 9/11.....because no one will let us. It was horrible, it was a tragedy, but we have got to move on. 9/11 will never be completely forgotten....it's one of those instances like when Kennedy was shot...do you remember where you were?......That sort of thing. I still remember quite vividly where I was, what I was doing.....and being scared out of my mind because I was swearing into the Delayed Entry Program for the Air Force three days later.
But we have terroristic activities right here at home. Have you forgotten Oklahoma City, Timothy McVeigh, and 167 men, women, and children that died April 19, 1995? Have you forgotten the WTC bombing on February 26, 1993? How about Teddy Kaczynski? Or David Koresh? Jeffrey Dahmer?
Sure, none of those people, nor none of those events, were on the same scale as 9/11. That's not my point. My point is, we as a nation need to move on. We can never wipe out terrorism, and we can't keep our people living in a constant state of fear.

Civil rights don't mean squat if your dead........Think about it.....
Perhaps not, but I'd rather live freely and happily for as long as I can. If you're dead, you're dead, and NOTHING matters, including.....stopping the big bad terrorists! I mean, come on.....the little color coded threat advisory wasn't even created until after 9/11....you can't tell me we didn't have ANY threats of terrorist activity before that. It's a scare tactic, just one of many little things the government does to keep us as good and obedient little citizens, and we shouldn't continue to buy into it!
