I understand your concern but what's the alternative?
We are at war.......
NeverGore :^)
The problem is, we will never NOT be at war. We are at war with a tactic, and that means we can never be at peace.
When we fought the Nazis, we were at war with the NAZIS, not with the military concept of combined arms (aka Blitzkrieg).
When we fought the Japanese, we fought the EMPIRE OF JAPAN, not the military technique of kamakaze pilots.
To fight against a tactic -- in this case, terrorism -- is to fight an enemy that can never truly be defeated. That means we will always be at war. That means the deprivations and abrogations of the Constitution need never be rolled back.
We are seeing some of the results today. America, as it was, will never be again -- we are spinning into a totalitarian state most reminiscient of East Germany than anything else: Brutal, information-intensive, and efficient.
