>>>If in the process of "fighting the bad guys" you employ the same or worst methods that the bad guys use, you in fact become "the bad guys". I am talking about the process of slowly forgetting about the law and human rights, as a means to fight terrorism.

>>Good point. I think it's a difficult slipping point to define.

>Thanks, John, don´t get me wrong, I love and admire America, I even finished High School there, my comments are not out of hate, but out of love, it´s painful to see a great nation surrender so many principles.

>The best way to "not slip" is to never go that way. Check my comments about how the italians fought terrorism in the 70´s

I actually agree with you more than you probably think I do, but my argument is to avoid the kind of comparison you made originally. It defeats the validity of honest, sincere criticism. ( I say this because I spent my youth failing to convert people because in my passion I had a knack for first offending them <s> )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
