Neither is death.
We cannot win this war, or any other, while providing all peacetime civil rights.
Does anyone doubt that?
Slogans about freedom being better than security are just that in the circumstances -- meaningless slogans.
The question is: Are you willing to lose this war, which by their definition involves the supremacy of Islam?
If not, what are you willing to give up temporarily to win?
Is temporary sacrifice of some rights better than permanently losing them all?
You said it perfectly, "We cannot win this war, or any other, while providing all peacetime civil rights"
Just look at our own Civil War. IMHO, we would still have slavery in our country, if Lincoln had not had the courage of his convictions to suspend habeus corpus in Baltimore and imprison all the city officials & their families who were sympathetic to the Southern Cause. Certainly, we would still have slavery if not for the siege of Vicksburg or Sherman's march to the sea.
