Mr. Paul's correct about the relative statistics. He'd also have been correct had he applied that statistical comparison to Pearl Harbor.

It'd be interesting to see how he would differentiate between the two attacks.....

The over reaction to the 9/11 attacks could be compared to the internment of the Japanese during WW II. Something that 30-40 years later, we agreed was a blot on our history.

People that down play the extra intrusion of government now, don’t look to the possible future problems. Also, the spending of billions, if not trillions, financing the war in Iraq has to have an effect on future generations. They will be the ones really paying the bill.

We must be willing to take risks to defend our freedoms. As Ron Paul has said the risk of driving on the road is greater than the threat of Islamic terrorists, to the average person. Giving up liberties for such a marginal risk, is not the American way of life.

We have a lot of Muslims in this country, but we have not had one suicide bomber or one car bomb attack from them. So far, we have had more possibilities of some one going postal than a Muslim suicide attack from our citizens.
