We live in different times now. It's not our fault, but we have to respond appropriately. Going about every day like nothing ever happened while there are groups that want us all dead doesn't make for an easy future in ANY event.

I don't want to argue with you, but to me it's the exact same times.. only the people have changed. I don't see the WTC as our reichstag fire.

I will take my chances with the terrorists because if you think about it they got 3000 people, and it was our own fault. We had people here who were supposed to be going to college who weren't, we had people wanting to only take off in commercial aircraft, we had no background checks going on for airport personell.. The INS has become the welcome wagon.

It's shameful, but I am not willing to shred the constitution over it. There's risk in everything you do from bording a plane to going to the grocery store.

Even in a virtual police state like Israel people still aren't safe. So there's no way tossing away our right's and liberties will save us here.

IMO, our best course of action is to just make the price of terrorism so incredibly high that it becomes akin to kicking a sleeping tiger.

Sure.. you can do it, but guess what happens next?

But the results of terrorism is much higher security everywhere. Eventually the border as well.
Our public Email and most communications will probably be monitored looking for terrorists at this time as well.

Where not in peaceful times right now.
I really do think this will be throughout our lifetimes.

It's sad, but it was brought to our soil and we have to deal with it.
