But how many terrorist acts have been botched that we don't know of? How many in the last
3 years have been busted by the efforts of the FBI, CIA and police departments by utilizing the
tools and laws now available to them, such as the Patriot Act. If we removed the tools like the
Patriot Act and something DID happen to the US, then EVERYONE would be saying the the government
didn't do enough. It's a bitter back and forth battle in politics where no one seems to win.
It's like putting a fence around your entire house where no one can get in or over. People say that fence
is offensive and stupid, and that no one has broke into your house. But how many people have been diverted away
from breaking in since seeing the fence? You will never know, but your sense of security is strong with it
regardless.
Why are foreigners to the US taking offense to something that is to protect the US?
