During WW2 did not millions die for freedom agains repressive regimes? We all seem to forget this now we are ready to throw our freedoms away and embrase repressive regimes because a few thousand died.
and before anybodys says you don't know what its like I have lived in london through the IRA bombs. I have had 5 bombs go off less than a mile from where I was. During that campaign Londoners just got on with it shrugged it off. Now everybody seems to painic about it...Not sure what has changed but its not good. All these things have a life span We don't get IRA bombs any more everything has a limited lifespan. Lets not throw our freedom away for a bit of piece of mind that will come to nothing. If phone and email is being monitored so heavily terrorists will start only communicating in person or by letter etc.
