If, in the name of combating terrorism, we so restrict our own freedom, have we not thereby lost part of the very battle we seek to win?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
This is not a battle between the United States of America and terrorism, but between the free and democratic world and terrorism.
I am certain - I am deadly certain that we cannot win this war unless we are free to call our enemy by name: Radical Islamicists and failed tyrants.
We know we must win the war on terror to protect innocent people and the freedoms that define our way of life.
The war against terrorism is one we must win.
We know that our life of freedom is stronger than terror.
Our soldiers have nobly fought to protect freedom since our country's birth, and have fought to protect those that could not protect themselves, even in foreign lands when called upon.
To win the war on terror, we must know who our friends are and where our enemies are hiding. We can't continue fighting terrorism using the same foreign policy blueprints that were in place before September 11th.
I am ready to debate how we fight terrorism without giving up our liberty.
The battle against terrorism is not only a military fight but primarily a battle of information.
My submission to you is we're fighting the war on terror not overseas but in our own streets, and we'd be spending vast more fortunes to try to be a defensive country to protect ourselves rather than an offensive country to spread democracy wherever people yearn for it.
