I agree with you. I have been hammering away in post after post about better border security, and better port security, and better police work, and better coordination. The fact that liberals (those dastardly folks) may not agree with the tactics of this administration does NOT mean they don't believe in policing terrorism- and I do think in the end it IS policing that will stop this. There is simply no way to blow all the terrorists up. And a tank can't find terrorists hidden in Western countries, and neither will a war in Baghdad. It's a police problem, and if we realize that, and focus on that, and put tremendous energy into that, I think we will be relatively safe. Will we be absolutely safe? Silly question- and no. We'll never be that- not even if we threw out the constitution and had a leader like Hitler. There was, after all, terrorism against Hitler- that's what the resistance was (from Hitler's perspective anyway, it was terrorism). So we're never going to be perfectly safe, but we can be free, and we can work against terrorism without scrapping our freedoms.
