My big point is where does it stop? Hitler's deal looked like a pretty good thing at first but after awhile you were ether on board or dead. The Soviet Union...that didn't go so well either now did it. One of the first things to go in both cases were the peoples personal freedoms.
It's easier to hold on to what you have than fight to get back what you've lost.



Being stopped and searched doesn't equate to a loss of freedom. Well, maybe for a minute or two, but if it makes us safer then we should be doing it.

Use your own quote, I TOO have the right to LIFE, liberty and the persuit of happiness. I don't want that ended because some arab wants to blow up the bus/bridge/building I am on or in and we didn't stop them because we felt bad for hurting his feelings by searching him more closly.

It's not only the lives of 3000, but yes, the lives of those 3000 could have been saved at the risk of a f*cking inconveinance to a few people. How easily we forget just 4 years ago... Those people could have stood a hell of a better chance had we gone with the terrorist profile of arab men. But we didn't, and we paid the price.

Nice job comparing the safety of innocent people to the greed of Hitler and the USSR. Too bad they are nowhere near the same. Hitler blamed money problems and the like on the Jews, none of which were true. We are blaming terrorist attacks on arabs, which is true, they are committing the terrorist attacks. When white men start strapping TNT and taking train rides, I will call for them to be searched. But until then, people of arab descent are doing the terrorist acts.

But of course, you will always have the bleeding heart liberal that will feel bad for the terrorist and not the victims. And then they will claim to be for people's rights, not caring about the rights of the victims of course because they are dead, and the dead can't talk.
