We all remember what happened that day. Whether you think it was a vast conspiracy by the government; or whether you think it was a vast failure; one thing is a fact. We have yet to find a solution to the problem.
7 years later, We have not captured Bin-Laden.
7 years later, the Taliban are re-appearing in Afghanistan.
7 years later, we have started a war in Iraq, and are focusing a majority of our forces there.
7 years later, we are losing the war in Afghanistan because of a lack of military presence.
7 years later, you and I have had our rights trampled under presidential foot.
7 years later, Both Democrats and Republicans in the congress have failed to address any of the issues brought forth on 9-11.
Changes in National Security (though meagerly laughable at best) are the only advance we have made that would ensure our safety after 9-11.
Theres more to it than just that.
Benjamin Franklin once said "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." It could easily be interpreted to also mean that we shall LOSE liberty and Safety if we give up ANY Essential Liberties and Safeties.

That Franklin quote is the signature on my email. I've found several variations of it, and I always wonder which one is correct.
I got mine from wiki quote. They have 10 different versions.
The mystery continues...
if it helps I choose that one because it has that just pretentious enough tone to actually have been spoken or written in the 18th century.
Maybe we should go read a Franklin Biography... One would assume the author of that would know the right answer...
