Of course this has nothing to do with whether the gov't has more or less power than in the past either.

So steve you don't want us to wait until bad things happen here, but you don't want fighting going on somewhere else because you don't approve of how its being done. So what do you want? A magical solution that rids the world of terrorism while posing absolutely no inconvience to yourself and no possibility of casualties?

What does a body count have to do with some fanatic's ideology? Yes, they're the same because they both use a twisted sense of religious morality to justify murdering innocent people. And generally when you admit to being a terrorist organization...well...yeah. Believe it or not, my post wasn't solely a rebutle to yours, but rather a thought on the thread as a whole in relation to where the country is going. We're fighting a huge war overseas while we're letting people in our own backyards quite literally get away with murder just because they look like us and claim to have the same morals.

And it's not that I don't think we should ever fight...it's that we should make a smart plan and execute it well. We became so gung ho on the idea of tracking down terrorists that we completely neglected to make a real plan. If you wanna talk government power, let's talk about how the world's most powerful government is seemingly doing everything it can to bypass many of the freedoms afforded to it's own citizens while claiming to spread freedom elsewhere. If the Iraqis are so free, maybe they can send some of it our way.
