JF, OBL won, big time. Most successful terrorist EVER, he takes the Lifetime Achievment Award. I'm sure he never imagined that he would be so successful. And you can bet he enjoys every minute of our reaction.

Really? I doubt it. I think you're comparing Osama bin Laden to the devil himself.

It's typical of people to elevate perpetrators of atrocities to levels of evil geniuses. Remember the D.C. snipers? People were conjecturing how intelligent, clever, and unpredictable these guys must have been. It was only after we caught them did we realize what a couple of dumb low-lifes they were.

Yes, the threat of terrorism is exaggerated. No, government hasn't changed, nor have our personal liberties been affected, nor have we rounded up Arabs in concentration camps (like we did the Japanese in WWII), nor do I know of anyone who has created a "Panic Room" with duct tape, nor do I see "terrorism drills," nor is our government turning into the Nazi party, etc.

Being alarmist over the alarmists doesn't make sense.
