Too many questions to answer them all, however most important is the one that asks how I would feel about the Patriot bill had Clinton passed it. Easy, I would agree to it.
You see, I watched my country be attacked and several thousands of my fellow American's murdered. I believe that as a citizen, I have an obligation to do my part to protect this nation from enemies and to support the government to that end.

I am rather appalled at the complaining from citizens who seem to feel that they are being somehow robbed of some imagined freedoms from this effort. I do not agree with that take, but even if we were or are, it is the responsibility of each of us to sacrifice for the good of this country IMHO. My gosh, how could those of you who are so upset have survived WW2? They had the same rights you have, yet did not whine and complain when they had to make many more sacrifices than any of us have ever thought of!
You have yet to be told that you can only have certain amounts of food stuffs and must use ration cards yet. They did, and accepted it as their duty. I never heard my parents or grandparents whine about their freedoms being infringed upon when speaking of those times, in fact they expressed pride.

We are a selfish generation, thinking only of our own personal comforts while our military is out there fighting for our freedoms.
If you could ask any of those who died Sept11th what do you think they would say was more important? Your perceived loss of 'freedom' or the security of our nation?

I realize this is my own personal opinion, but you did ask. It is part of my freedom as an American to willingly participate in whatever it takes to fight this war on terrorism. Personally, I don't think they have done enough yet to insure that the terrorists are not allowed to strike again.
