I agree, but fear should not be used as a tool to stamped the American people into an unnecessary war with Iraq or manipulate congress into passing legislation that surrenders the American people's Constitutional freedoms, due process, and privacy. Theodore Roosevelt made a famous statement in his radio address to the nation, after the booming of Pearl Harbor: We have nothing to fear by FEAR itself.
