Subject: Bravo - Liberty Reply-To: atrigueiro () yahoo com Dear John: Thank you for taking the time to respond with reason. Mr. Bray's inflammatory language is so illustrative of the misunderstanding and underestimation of our enemy that has been the hallmark of the War on Terror, so far. I was stunned when it became clear that the government had plenty of information on the 9/11 conspirators. SOme were on "no-fly" lists already! They had the tools to mitigate the damage, if not halt those attacks altogether, yet failed. Failure does not justify more power...IT JUSTIFIES LESS POWER. We should remember that the one plane that failed to reach its target on 9/11/2001 was stopped by the people, not by the government and not the military. I go into some detail on this here: http://www.neo-liberalism.org/HowLiberty.asp Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to provide a reasoned response to the knee-jerk fear-mongers that live so much of their lives in terror. I have two young children and I want the power to protect them myself. George Bush and the neo-conservatives have already proven their incompetence in the matter. Please Mr. Bray, move to some safe place where you won't be afraid, but do not advocate the repeal of the Bill of Rights to protect me in these United States. Freedom, Liberty!!!!! Only that will win the War on Terror. The country that produced the likes of Ben Franklin has also spawned a nation of people like no other. Individual citizens who on their own with no time for planning take down a plane and in the process protect the White House from attack. George Bush was protected by Americans that day. We do not need him to protect us...WE PROTECT HIM! Ask any National Guardsmen in Babylon.
