people were led like sheep to hand over their Constitutional Rights and people will wonder why they did it. It's not as if a foreign invader was responsible, where they would have had to risk their lives, as so many others have, to preserve those rights. To see other people fighting and dying to try to get the rights we inherited and then gave up so willingly is truly a very tragic thing.

With barely a whimper. No terrorist could have done what we willingly did. 'They hate us for our freedoms'. Well, they don't need to hate us. We never valued them enough to fight for them.
