The perfect argument for enslaving the People, Reston, since little opposition from the Democrats has allowed GWB to steal more power from the Congress and the People.

Pretty straight forward - and it can be applied to today. If we ignore the evil that abhors our nation we, in effect, become an accomplice to it. By doing nothing we will be allowing those that hate us to cause more destruction and slaughter. Do not be so naive to think that we can "practice preemptive peace" while terrorists and radicals are planning our demise. Don't be so naive to think that you can sit down at the table and come to a peaceful agreement with those that so disrespect human life that they continually sacrifice their own just to destroy others'. -- Karoline, Winston-Salem
