Respectfully...I disagree. If there was a direct cause/effect relationship, then I might go along, but I'm still VERY leery of the path this approach has taken us down. I'm not niave enough to think we will never be attacked again. But...you know what, in spite of how terrible 9/11 was, we (as a nation) are strong enough to prevail without sacrificing the freedoms this country was founded on.
