War always brings restrictions on freedoms, its the nature of conflict and security.

If a gang is shooting at your family, you have to bring them inside, temporarily restricting their freedom while you return fire. Simple logic. Basically you are arguing that such 'restriction' is too high a price to pay.

Damn right that it is an emotional issue, too.

Yes... of course.

Government HAD to nationalize and unionize aiport security slugs.

And government HAD to collect 7 million toenail clippers.

And government HAD to suspend the writ of habeus corpus.

And government HAD to allow wiretaps without warrants.

And government HAD to allow secret trials.

And government HAD to allow indefinite imprisonment without charges.

It had to do all these things.. so we can be free and stuff.
