Who is more likely to destroy the essence of what the U.S. stands for?

People who hijack planes and destroy buildings, killing several thousand people in the process,

or

A President who refers to civil rights as "unreasonable obstacles?"

or

Both, if they are allowed to run roughshod throughout the world, unopposed by people of compassion and conscience?

Well... there is that.

I'm sure it would have happened sooner or later, truth be told.

If it had not come from Al Queda, it would have come from somewhere else.

I suspect you're right.

In a sense it already did, in Oklahoma City. But to see that of course you have to take a wider view.

Yeah...

If you looks through the last 100 years of our history... there are many small acts of terrorism that have occured in this country.

It just took a larger one, such as 9/11 to make the public realize what was happening. (and the help the government take advantage of it... but I digress...)
