Simon: I'll ask the question again Eric: is victory over a
perceived enemy a sufficient price for a totalitarian
regime. Because that's what the US govt is creating and
that's what you are advocating.
You've stacked the deck by the way you phrased the question.
Let me rewrite it and see if you go along with the rewriting.
"Is victory over a real enemy with a desire to acquire and
use weapons of mass destruction on civilian populations a
sufficient reason to abridge some freedoms temporarily and
ruthlessly pursue victory?"
Answer: Yes.
