The real goal of terrorism is not to destroy lives and property, but to provoke such an overreaction that the targeted government will become more of a menace to its society than the actual terrorists. If we don't wake up, grow up, and end this lunacy, a handful of terrorists will have gotten their way.

Good post, on all counts.

Too late... The cost to America is far more than the 3000 lives lost. The entire country is now subject to the whims of the beaurocrats, and their too-late responses!

There is nothing that will make us safe from a terrorist intending to kill people, or destroy property. they prefer the killing...

They won, as soon as we started looking over our own citizens...
