You.  I don't understand why you're so afraid of the terrorists that you are
willing to give up what this country stands for so willingly.

That's just it, it appears you want to give up our way of life to stop the
terrorists, that's just not understandable to me.  The chances of them doing
just that is so vanishingly small that I don't want to give up anything to
protect against them.

And as for our government, they're the ones pissing the Arabs off -- and more
of a cause of terrorism than probably anything else.  Karzai said it yesterday,
us fighting terrorism like this is not the way to go, we have to get to the
root of the problem and fix that, not just senselessly killing each other.

I could care less what the sheeple say they like, what the government is doing
*wrong* and very un-American.
