#1 "The direct impact of terror attacks are not huge" > neither is GLOBAL CO2 ala GLOBAL WARMING [UNO Report - LUCIANNE/WND].

#2 I recall that one of the UBL or Zawahiri types saying that they were going to prove the US was no different than anyone else by forcing them to enact legislation that restricted liberties in reaction to their terrorist attacks, thereby making the US hypocritical.

I'd say the terrorist leadership is explicitly aware of this and probably try to make it come to pass whenever presented the opportunity because it seems to be a point of pride for their culture and would aid in recruitment and indoctrination.

#6 We need to be VERY careful with this. While it is an excellent point that we should not allow the WOT to restrict liberties, we should also realize that our greatest weakness (also our greatest strength) is liberty.

What we need to do to survive is to restrict the liberty of those who wish to kill others. The trick is how to do it without restricting it for those who do not. It is not a simple task and in the end, the terrorists may indeed have found our Achilles heel.

#7 That's why the correct response for the United States in dealing with world terrorism is ... to find and kill the terrorists in their own lands and nests.

This remains the bottom line. The longer we delay in implementing this policy, the larger the number of collateral Muslims deaths that will accompany each terrorist hit. The math is dreadfully simple and deadly serious.

#8 That's why the correct response for the United States in dealing with world terrorism is not hunkering down at home with more laws, more police, and more 'homeland security' that begins to impinge on our own freedoms. It's to find and kill the terrorists in their own lands and nests.

That's one way to look at it. Another is that it don't matter how many terrorists you kill in Iraq etc..., as long as CAIR gets its own way inside USA.
