The terrorists have won.
And, they didn't have to attack us again to do it.

We GAVE AWAY our liberties because of our FEAR of another attack.

We GAVE AWAY what no terrorist could ever TAKE AWAY from us...because of our FEAR.

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself." ---FDR

Truer words were never spoken.

2. Sad but true, they really couldn't have hoped for a better result

5. OMG
What did we give away?

Are you concerned that you gave away unearned liberties to foreign agents, not U..S citizens, who should be entitled to plan attacks against us?

6. There is no final victory, this is not the end
I see just as much fear in your post as the fear you are afraid of in other people.

18. The Terrorists have not won what they want to win.
Islamic Fundies do not care if Amerika turns into a Fascist Police State or not. They want Islamic Fundie Govt. in the ME, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Pakistan & a few other countries. They want the Western Powers out of these countries. That has not & will not happen.
