It seems like people are willing to give up their freedoms in the name of safety. Our biggest success(our personal freedom) is also are biggest enemy. However, if we start trading in freedoms for security and safety than they've won.

1. the republican party is often tied to militarism. there are exceptions to the rule republicanism=smaller government. blanket statements in politics don't always work.
2. how does attaining greater security by sacrificing more personal security means "they" have won? if we are still talking about extremist islamic terrorist cells, most of there goals (immediate at least) reside in the ousting of the west from the middle east. americans alive and well (and secure) in the middle east is pissing them off quite a bit, and i don't think its because they are winning.
