These 'foreigners' are here because they were attracted to the American way of life, which has been advertised and bragged about. They appreciate what America stands for and want to be a part of it.
What a stupid thing to say!! Problems like these terrorist attacks can only be resolved if the people of the world come together. We are all human. Don't be so arrogant. It's people like YOU who are the problem, asshole.
Can't trust a pay phone anymore, and how many numbers does your cell phone have anyway?
That's not what it means, dum-dum! It means you don't have to go out and get a wire-tapping liscence (whatever) for every-simgle G.D. phone that the terrorist may use (ie: home, biz, cell, friend, etc.). This means the one warrant allows you to tap all of them, inclusively.
What's going on? It seems as though we're losing our freedom, and it's because too many people don't realize what freedom is. Sure,/. readers understand the benefits of freedom of speech and privacy, but the reason so many "intelligent" representatives are voting against such freedoms is probably that the people they represent don't know what detriment such a decision has to the underpinnings of American Society.
Not enough people understand that the rights we are given in the constitution have made this country what it is today. Fear is what makes a dictatorship, and although we aren't fearing our governments (yet), our fear of terrorist attacks are giving the government more power to control us.
We should not become passive in times of adversity. People want to feel safe, but safety comes at a price. Jumping to conclusions about how to protect the country can only lead to safety without comforts.
--Americans are becoming too complaisant. But what can ya do?
I highly doubt that the American Gov't would let out more information than it wants its enemies to know. I think asking the world to be quiet so we can win this war is a silly request that will never be fulfilled. We live in a media-rich environment, and many parties take advantage of it. You should appeal to the masses who demand this information of newscasters, if you're so upset. They're the ones who lead reporters to tell the world what they know.
