I'll save you the verbose retort...but I'm afraid I don't see the author's point...
There's really no call to action. So we need to defeat terrorisim...like duh?
The real question is, how many of your freedoms and values are you willing to sacrifice to do it?

The real answer must be whatever it takes. Many lifetimes will the struggle continue. |

But the author didn't really define the problem, just the cost of failure!
How then can it be what ever it takes?

Does anyone except the ACLU, and other far left organizations care if airport and transportation security decides to profile??? Having lost a close friend to the 9/11 attacks I could care less. It's about time we stop pulling aside grandmothers and 6 year old kids from security lines and start looking for bearded middle easterners. I have not seen a 6 year old Bostonian Irish kid screaming "death to America" on TV yet, so why bother being politically correct and start being smart.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

Skippy, curse your word.
Because that's what makes America great...we have laws and we believe in equality.
That's not to say we shouldn't profile based on behavior, but not on ethnicity or religion.
To sacrifice our freedom is like handing Bin Laden another win...we can't do it...we must stay true to what makes America the best place on Earth.

Well, when you fly, you can take nice long looks at 90 year old grandmothers if it makes ya feel all warm an fuzzy inside. But me, i'm taking a close look at all middle eastern folks that may be boarding my flight. Who in thier right mind wouldn't? Oh wait, Spence wouldn't, because he's better than the rest of us, and he as all the solutions to the worlds problems, how soon i forget.

Yea, America was built on fear...keep being afraid and see where it gets ya...
Perhaps you can get a few Arab Americans thrown off your plane because you don't like how they look...
Now that would be success in the war on terror!
