We
must remember our responsibilities
by Rep. Ron Paul
"Times of tragedy and war naturally bring out strong emotions in all
of us. Sometimes the people are only too anxious to sacrifice their
constitutional liberties during a crisis, hoping to gain some measure of
security. Yet nothing would please the terrorists more than if we
willingly gave up some of our cherished liberties because of their
actions."

those who still live in poverty.

Don't sacrifice freedom
by Glenn H. Reynolds
"When things went wrong in ancient times, our pagan ancestors tried
to appease the gods by destroying that which they held dearest, hoping
that their sacrifice would purchase their safety. In modern times, we
sometimes resort to the same practice -- though what we are asked to place
on the altar is not a goat, or even a child, but our freedom."

Statement on terrorist attacks
by Ted Galen Carpenter
The U.S. should consider yesterday's attacks an act of war. The U.S.
should eliminate members of any terrorist organization that was involved
in the attack, and if it did so with a government's sponsorship, remove
that government. However, American civil liberties should not be
sacrificed.

Pouring gasoline on the fire
by David Dieteman
"Terrorists may blow up buildings, but they cannot suspend the Bill
of Rights. ... This is not the time to restrict our liberties yet further,
nor is it the time to kill even more foreigners with American money, guns,
and bombs."

No surrender: why limiting freedom won't help
by Jeffrey Rosen
"Galvanizing acts of terrorism tend to provoke sweeping increases in
domestic surveillance that change the character of civic life without
deterring or preventing future terrorist attacks. By learning from the
excessive and ineffective responses of the past, America can focus its
energies on retaliating against the guilty rather than transforming life
for the innocent."

What we lost -- what we will keep
by Steve Chapman
"What took place Tuesday was a horrendous catastrophe leaving wounds
that may never fully heal. It demands greater vigilance than we've had to
exercise before. But permanently robbing our daily lives of normality is
more than even these terrorists can do."

Unity -- for now
by Sam MacDonald
"When the candlelight vigils are over and the camouflaged humvees are
gone, people on opposite ends of the political spectrum will answer these
questions in fundamentally different ways. How the nation resolves those
differences may well be the true legacy of September 11, 2001."

Advocates of freedom are preparing for a backlash that could limit
individual liberty under the guise of preventing future attacks like those
of September 11. A Washington Post poll found that 66 percent of
Americans would be willing to give up some civil liberties if they thought
it would help combat terrorism.

1998 Frontline interview with Osama bin Laden
"The Western regimes and the government of the United States of
America bear the blame for what might happen. If their people do not wish
to be harmed inside their very own countries, they should seek to elect
governments that are truly representative of them and that can protect
their interests."
