Well stated.
The war in Iraq has was started under the right pretext, that establishing democratic institutions in the Middle East is the best way, over the long run, to reduce the threat. Additionally, it has served as a magnet for radical Islamists and terrorists, thus keeping them “over there” and not over here!
The reason the war is unpopular here is the steady drumbeat of surrender and bad news from the media and the Democrats who wants us to lose. Without that, the country would be united behind the effort.
As for the Patriot act - you said it all. Overblown claims of loss of freedoms without ONE concrete example. The act is a reasonable tool for fighting terrorism here at home, and it seems to have worked very well without undermining our freedoms!
