There have always been terrorists throughout history. To the British
there were some in a colony of theirs back around the 1770s they wanted
to get rid of. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
Bush and company are using terrorism as an excuse to control the
masses. I was listing to the talking chimp last night trying to freak
Americans out again over terrorism. I'm not going along with it.
Lincoln was not as popular as our grade school history books like to
make out. I think you mean Woodrow Wilson and his "sedition act" not
Roosevelt. We don't need these either.
