I would put it a little differently. Alternative energy sources will
reduce the
finances available to the terrorists to plan and execute attacks. But, on the other hand, they will hate us even more because we will deprive their ability to live on our account <g>. No matter how you cut it,
these people will hate America, american way of life, and so on. So, until someone shows me that there is a better way to protect us from terrorists, I have no problem with Patriot Act.
