It is the obligation of our government to control...as well as they can...the proliferation of WMD's...and to maintain as best as they can our overwhelming military superiority so that no one dares launch an attack against the CONUS.

Yes, and large corporations have more power in our government than people realize with their big payoffs and campagin contribs. As for invasion of our privacy, if that is true.. it is not as in your face as what is going on now with this homeland security.
What is this homeland security anyway... what is the National Guard? Arn't they the one that are suppose to protect our nation against these atacks?
I am sure we will never agree on this... but you have to admit that this administration has gone just a bit overboard on this whole security issue.
All I know is that ALL these politicians need to be held accountable for their actions... We are no saints.. we have caused havock ourselves... we have wmd's but it's ok.
But in the end... was this war worth it? The fighting continues and people are still dying... the cost is very expensive, and our economy is suffering. And for what.. There are still people out there that hate us, if not bin ladden, saddam, if not saddam, there will be someone else that will come along that will be far worse then both of them put together.
