Don't worry, Bush assures us. We're just trying to protect you from terrorists.

Sorry, but that's not good enough.

It's a slippery slope from losing a few rights to becoming a police state — just ask the Germans or Russians or Slavs or people from scores of other nations where governments turned oppressive in the name of "security."

Yes, Sept. 11 jolted us into the new reality of terrorist tactics. And yes, the government must have tools to counter them.

2. You know Israel uses these same tactics so by puke thinking there should
be no terrorists attacking them. Guess what, Israel gets attacked, so puke thinking isn't its just an excuse to slide farther to the right towards the far far right puke, the Nazi party. Americans don't get it on the whole, slide to far to the left you get communism on the far right of things is Nazi parties.
