I think most Americans agree that the war in Iraq and Afghanistan did more than anything to stop terror attacks in the US. Only in the last year have the Democrats tried to make an issue of the war, (they had to invent the "Bush Lied" mantra), and they lost that battle because the president responded to this bogus charge.
Maybe they just can't decide which thing will get them less bad press.
Yep, that may be true.
But one thing they don't do, and what few people are talking about, is returning rights to Americans so they themselves can defend against terrorists.
Are you talking about second ammendment rights? It seems that, actually some of those are coming back (concealed carry, and the new FL law whose name I forget, where you don't have to run away from a fight). I realize those are on the state level, but it seems that we are winning that one to some extent.
