Have America's Anti-Terror Policies Made Us Safer?

[Hawaiianstile]

doesnt take a university professor to realize that there is no such thing as a "war on terror" no such thing as a "war on drugs" america is nothing but an empire sacrificing the innocent lives of people, including their own, to line the pockets of the elite. and their people, enslaved both mentally and physically, worship them for it. pathetic.

governments have always used temporary security measures to impose permanent restrictions on our freedoms.you cant fight a war of ideologies with bullets and brute force.you fight by sticking to your principles and showing by example that yours is the higher phillosophy.so whats the first thing we do when faced with this terrorism?we abandon our principles and succumb to fear and paranoia-becomming more like the enemy every day

The ends justify the means.

[uncomonsense]

So the end is creating more terrorists?

[Illumirage]

This guy's full of shit. Typical liberal professor. Just because a very low amount of terror immigrants have come through doesn't mean it can never happen. Al Queada has even openly admitted that the Southern American Border would be one of their best points of ingress. Plus, a terrorist would probably be decent at disguising his true nature, or just flat out haven't been caught. Sleeper cells to this day.

[DaXue]

Explain to us how name-dropping 'liberal' wins you the argument.

[Illumirage]

Do I have to? Just because I said liberal doesn't mean I 'won.' What the hell are you getting at, you smartass?

[DaXue]

My point was that name-calling, much like the invocation of patriotism in an argument, is often called "the last refuge of a scoundrel". Your having to drop a word like "liberal" or "smartass" means you have little outside of name-calling to attempt winning your argument, which is something school children resort to at age 8 ... it simply doesn't cut it.

[Illumirage]

OK I can admit when I'm, namecalling is childish. I'll agree. But being a liberal doesn't help your case at all, that is for sure.

[DaXue]

... I didn't know that I was a liberal. Thanks for filling me in.

[Illumirage]

Much of your aforementione rhetoric is typical of many Liberals.

Your welcome.

[uncomonsense]

Al Qaeda barely exists.

[Illumirage]

I beg to differ.

[uncomonsense]

Who are they? Where are they? To what extent are they organized?

[AzraelsJudgement]

Anti-Terror laws = Shove a huge stick up USA citizens A**'s. The Statue of Liberty might as well be knocked down. The constitution will be thought of as a myth by our grandchildren.

[edbrown100]

One can't accurately discuss America's failed anti-terror policies w/o discussing the influence AIPAC has on our government; the fact that AIPAC was caught spying on our government; that Israeli Amdocs has access to our phone records; that Feith, who was appointed by Bush, called for Hussein's removal for Israel's sake back in 96. Simply put, a Zionist cannot completely or accurately explain the real problems.

[Rickdeckard2020]

Good points,

it shows the US democracy is dangerously broken and that concentrated ownership of mainstream media remains the primary threat to democracy and obstacle in its resolution.

discussions about other topics is almost moot until this is fixed and it will not likely be fixed by the rigged elections.

Being a superpower its also a grave concern for the rest of the world

(with great power comes great responsibility, spiderman)

[edbrown100]

America's anti-terror policies aren't run by those w/ USA's best interest at heart. They're set by Feith, Podhoretz, Krauthammer, Kristol, Perle, Wolfowitz & AIPAC. 'Our' policies (blood) have MOSTLY catered to Israel.

Build a Mosul-Haifa oil pipeline

Remove Hussein, as Feith, Perle & Netanyahu called for in Israel back in 96; they'd rather Americans die

Water for Israel

Preserve the petrodollar as standard currency for Iraqi oil sales

Our anti-terror policies have nothing 2 do w/ terror.

[Rickdeckard2020]

Great video!

'Those Who Would Sacrifice Liberty for Security Deserve Neither.' -Franklin with torture,detention without cause, no contact or legal process, secret wiretaps, 'be grateful you have freedom' is a doubleplusgood example of Double Think. ;)

[SparklestheClown]

Earth to someone!! Is there anyone at home upstairs in your head??? It only takes one misguided terrorist to blow up a building and kill thousands of people. You protest too much me thinks. Sure, it was rough, and some were disrupted. But, if it could catch the one bad seed, it was worth it. Quit putting your government down so much and be greatful you have freedom - Yes you have a right to your opinion. After, Opinions are like behinds, everyone has one.

[kaiban42]

I dont even have to wait to see the video to know how to answer that..... it isnt. "Safe" is an illusion.
