What BS? Treating Yasser Arafat as a diplomat. Patronizing countries who CLEARLY support terrorism. Giving aid to thrid world countries without supervising where the resources end up and the list continues... We are a free country, if we become a lot less free because of threats like this, again- they win. Yes, and freedom has a price. The fact that we are free, does NOT mean that we can be attack free. Envy and twisted minds will aim at us simply because it becomes an easy target and will make them popular in the eyes of their zombie populations who to begin with are uneducated. Do they win ? And what is it that they win ? It is not a matter of WIN OR LOSE. It is a matter to defend what is important to you. To me, freedom is important and under these attacks... things have changed life has changed forever. I do not feel terror, I feel helpless to watch these attacks (now both towers of the WTC are gone). Do you want to live like that ? I do not. These people do NOT value life and the only way I know to prevent this is to defend myself. The Palestinians live in misery. None of us would want to change places with them. If we lift them up, and give them lives worth keeping, and a future (so they do not need to extol the virtues of death, and instead extol the virtues of life) this wouldn't happen. Yea ? well... They certainly have wasted many opportunities to make peace, and this way is NOT the way to achieve it. I do not believe that the Palestinans had the power to execute what has happen, but that is besides the point now... I do not disagree with you in many of the things you say... but these acts change the character of everything around us, hence the attitude towards these people. It becomes a matter of survival.
