Have the terrorists won?

Ever since the 9/11 attacks, Americans have lived under such fear of the "terrorists" that we are willing to give up their Constitutional rights to support this "War on terror". The Patriot act got rid of the 4th amendment (meaning the government can spy on you and search you WITHOUT A WARRANT). The NDAA (NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT) gets rid of the fifth amendment allowing UNITED STATES citizens to be detained INDEFINITELY without TRIAL, or even assassinated at the will of the president.

Thomas Jefferson once said, “Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.”

That was over 250 years ago and he saw this coming. If the US is willing to kill it's own citizens out of fear of the terrorists, they have by the way( NEW MEXICO BORN Anwar al-Awlaki, and 16 YEAR OLD COLORADO BORN Abdul Ramen al-Awlaki WITHOUT TRIAL OR PROOF), than who is the true victor of this war?

    Anyone that bothers reading the NDAA will find it exempts US citizens & legal residents.

    Go look it up for yourself: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112s1867pcs/pdf...

    It's in Section 1032 on page 362.

    the sadness in you and in such fairly some human beings makes it seem as if the terrorists have received. They have not. certain they reason grief and destruction previous concept yet we in person-friendly words get stronger as human beings. no matter if you're on the area of the attack or no longer we come mutually as one. We develop into stronger in such fairly some techniques that it really is difficult to describe. We too might want to study a thanks to keep going ahead and not in any respect sit nevertheless in concern. i think terrible for what has occurred in Mumbai yet i believe that this can convey out selection, ability, compassion, and thecontinual to stay more suitable, to artwork more suitable so as that those terrorists develop right into a lot less and a lot less. seem at what occurred on 9/11 did it stop human beings from coming to america? no. There are human beings vacationing the following and it will be an similar in different international places. We as human beings are plenty stronger to easily allow the evil in others win.

    Of course the terrorists have won.

    1. The US soldiers have unfortunately not changed anything in the Middle East, some people even claim that it is even worse there than prior to 9/11.

    2. Innocent people (soldiers, Middle Eastern citizens) have died.

    3. People in the West live in constant fear.

    4. The economy is messed up.

    The terrorists have managed to achieve their objectives, they don't care about you, me and even their own people.

    It is a war that will never end!

    No, the 1% have won. They can now use terrorism as a pretext to scare the population and justify draconian measures of control.

    The source article, written by a professor of political science at Brooklyn College, is a sad case of some of the ramifications of such policies.

    From me to you,in that the local county deputy,arrested me,1.no proof,2.no evidence,3.no motive.

    The charge was, reckless use of a firearm.The guy filing the charge is a drug dealer that moved into the area,and started causing problems from day one.

    He has the sheriff's department well paid to watch his back.

    the guy and i had a altercation a few days before,he let's his pitbull run loose,i turned him into the D.N.R.He got fined.He said he'd get me.

    Two days later the deputy is at my door to arrest me,and does.

    Long story,short,2-and a half years later,trial,found not guilty,spent 17,000$,on lawyer and court fee's.

    Want to press charges on the guy,County attorney won't touch him,orders from the sheriff.

    People don't have to be arabic looking to be terrorist.

    Possibly. America seems to be populated by cowards now. Whatever happened to the "Home of the Brave"?

  • 9 years ago

    Pretty much, yes. Land of the free and home of the brave? Not anymore. More like Brave New World.

    America is the land of the free, as long as you dont text, use your mobile, talk on any telephone or send email or blackberry or skype as your every move is being recorded and monitored by key word computers at Ft Meade..

    I agree that far too many are willing to give up freedoms that past generations took for granted. We all need to stand up and demand our rights back.
