Go sit in a cafe' in Israel, Bali, Darfur, and when the ball bearings and nails start to fly into your flesh, ripping apart men, women, and children spout that. I personally would rather make the enemy die for his belief, and stay alive.

In Israel they search you car before it can be parked in a garage.
You have to open your brief case when even asked.
You visit certain locations and the IDF is on the adjoining roofs aiming down.
Frankly monitoring calls from known terrorists to people inside the US is just plain common sense.
I think one of the reasons we haven't had any more attacks on us (that Al-Qaeda has taken credit for) is that when we are attacked, we retaliate by liberating another Islamic country. Some countries do the opposite, like Spain electing a Muslim friendly regime in response to the train bombings.
