In Reply to: How many terrorists attacks in the US since 911? posted by Vinyleer on January 31, 2006 at 12:48:12:
There have been no attacks on American soil since 9/11. On the other hand, over 2,300 Servicemen have been killed in combat on foreign soil. Net net, the bad guys are still in the game.On the other hand, at home our civil liberties are incrementally being weakened. Since we began engaging in torture, ignoring Geneva Conventions, operating secret prisons overseas, and incarceration without charge, the difference between us and the "bad guys" grows smaller.
America is an ideal, a concept of freedom and moral courage. I don't like the idea of becoming like everyone else.
