Have you taken note of some people's expressed opinions here?
If you have, you 'll notice the following:
USA sucks because they bombed Afghanistan, killing civilians, who shielded Bin Laden's boys.
BUT
It's not cowardly for terrorists (be they Pals, Israel, Al Queda, Northern Ireland or whoever) to blow up civilians on school buses, cafes, whatever.
But
We're losing some of our civil liberties,
But
We don't want to lose our family, or our own life, to terroristic acts.
I could go on and on.
It would be laughable  , were it not so grim.

These are not mutually exclusive. Thinking that the killing of innocent civilians is wrong does not mean that someone who kills himself to do so is cowardly. Despite faith that you will be rewarded by GOD, it is counter to your instincts to self-terminate. If anything, it's more cowardly to kill civilians from a safe distance without risk to yourself.

Again, not mutally exclusive. Bureaucratic and political foul-ups, not freedom, contributed to the ability of the attackers to hit us. I can have my freedom and my safety at the same time if people did their jobs correctly. Giving the same f*ck-ups more power doesn't increase my security at the same time that it diminishes my freedom.

I believe civil liberties are being lost, but I don't see a significant terrorist threat, and threats that do exist can be dealt with without limiting civil freedoms (such as increasing airport security, etc) Not really contradictory.
