Because let's face it: With America not only the most powerful military power on earth (our military budget exceeds that of all other nations combined), there will always be some people who feel aggrieved enough or angry enough at something to want to take violant action.
So do these critics want a permanent state of war because some terrorists want to hijack a plane, bomb a building, or try to bomb some city? Heck, Bush destroyed a city all by himself a year ago.
Are 10 terrorists enough of a threat that we should suspend the Constitution and let the president be a dictator? Should we hold out for 1000? And should we count in that number "terrorists" like the bozos who were arrested in Miami, who were supposedly planning to take down the Sears Tower in Chicago but didn't even know where it was? Or the seven and eight-year olds who were captured in Afghanistan and shipped off to Camp Iguana in Guantanamo?
And we know who the enemies of America are: Not a bunch of loony fanatics in turbans, but rather people in hand-tailored $6,000 suits in Washington, eager to turn a two-centuries-old experiment in democracy into a one-party police state.
