A few points: The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11/01 had exactly the effect they wanted them to have. Think about it; most people were saying they'd failed due to the relatively low death toll, compared to what it could be. However, look at the amount of money the US has recently spent on the "war against terrorism". Hundreds of billions!! I think your deficit for this year is something like half a TRILLION!!

If I remember correctly thats not much compared to what it was when the republicans were Last in office.
And when someone says that 9-11 had a horrible impact on our economy Im not sure if the cost of the reaction is quite the same as the impact on our economy. Is the impact what the terrorists did? Or what Bush did?

It's pretty clear that it's what Bush did. Same answer with our civil rights. They were thrown away, along with our money, by our own government, to increase its own power and wealth, and that of its political allies.
