Eric: We are at war and need to suspend certain rights.
Simon: We need to suspend certain rights so let's go to war.

To simplify further, couldn't we say the basis of our
disagreement is whether or not the war is real? We could
debate that question, but we'd have to consider an ominous
alternative.
What if the war IS real, and the power elite are also using
it as an excuse for creating a permanent corporate and
government tyranny? If so, we'd both be right, but not in
the way either of us hopes.
We have countless examples of war profiteering, corrupt
buddy contracts, and so on. Plus we have evidence that Bush
is not serious enough about the war--no control of the
borders or thorough homeland security inspection at ports,
nuke plants, and so on. That could be politics interfering
with the war, OR it could be a sign that the war is not
real. How would we parse that?
