The terrorists don't care if they kill liberals or conservatives. They want to and did kill Americans.... oh and Japanese, and Germans, and from 50 or so other countries doing business in America. There will be huge dissent; that doesn't mean it is unpatriotic. There was huge dissent in WWII, even right after Pearl Harbor. There was huge dissent in Korea, and Vietnam and the Gulf War, and Panama. A lack of the ability to dissent brings you Stalin. A lack of voiced dissent brings you Joseph McCarthy. There will always be dissent and that is what makes this country. I think it was Lincoln who was distrustful of unanimous votes in his cabinet and said something to the effect that a even a lone voice speaking dissent is vital to this republic.
Agree, Dissent. Whatever. But keep up the dialogue. That's the AMERICAN way.
