You and I have exactly the same political process with US government terrorists as we do with foreign terrorists. Unless you are going to get me to believe that we have voting rights that are respected by the government terrorists. Examples I can name off the top of my head would be the government terrorists repudiation of the nine states vote for medical marijuana. Thousands are suffering, many are dead by this terrorist action. There is also the problem of the terrorist government refusing to abide by the US Constitution and international law (The Copenhagen Agreement of Free Elections) that mandate free elections. Unless you are going to tell me with a straight face that their was a difference between Kerry and Bush. That always reminds me of my college days when PoliSci students would argue until the wee hours the benefits of Lenin vs Trotsky and vice versa. It still makes my eyes glaze over. > To extend your logic, then all law is designed to inspire terror. I > disagree with this.
