No, I'm not frightened, but I am very angry. And always reserve my right to call these madmen who killed innocents exactly what they are: MUSLIM terrorists. You seem frightened. Let me ask you this... if they were white (or any color) US born would you be more or less angry or the same? Does your anger solve anything? Could GWB have attacked Iraq without public anger and fear after 9/11? BTW do you have a credible source for your sleeper cell accusation? I'm not saying its not true, just that it smells of typical post-event irrationality. Fringe media playing to fear and anger.

"Those Who Sacrifice Liberty* For Security Deserve Neither."* Like many, you continue to live in the past. Those statements were made when there was no Internet, not even Ak-47s. Things have changed since then and we need to move with the times. As Obama said, the age of bayonets and horses are over. Moving right along, why cry over what happened to the father who took his family out for a good time. After all, in your opinion, we cannot kill a US citizen like Obama did with Alwaki, right? Just finished listening to a former Israeli intelligence official on TV. He pointed out that when it concerns survival as they do in Israel, they pounce on suspected terrorists unlike here where they are concerned with things like 4th Amendment rights type of things etc. Here is a bit of history for you to consider. Indira Gandhi was a goddess to Indians when she was PM. Those illiterate Indians worshipped her and voted and revoted for her several times. But sometime in 1976, she assumed emergency powers, suspended freedom of speech, threw opposition leaders in jail and declared a state of emergency. And then when she to call for elections she did so a year after the scheduled date. And what happened. They voted her and her party out. She lost her seat, her party went fro close to 320 out of 540 seats (or thereabouts) to about 70 seats. Those illiterate and poor Indians understood one thing: freedom. They may not have food to eat or clothes to wear but they need their freedom. And how old was the Indian democracy. A shocking 28 years old. So what do the Americans fear about the President having extraordinary powers to deal with terrorists. I laugh my ass off when I hear Senators fearing abuse by the Govt. Moving along, you called them Muslim terrorists. I have never seen Israelis refer to terrorists that way. They are just called terrorists since they also have Jewish terrorists. after all, Rabin was killed by a Jewish terrorist. But Israel always calls them terrorists, period. do you seriously think that we need to practice discrimination amongst terrorists too!!!
