First I saw Sadaam as a threat, more so than anything on your list. Because I saw him as a threat, I saw the power he had and those who support and supported him as a threat. I think we need to resolve the Iraqi insurgency. I think we need to make the "cost" of terrorist acts so high that terrorist see no further value in acts of terror, while at the same time increase the "benefit" of civil discourse so that everyone feels thier voice will be heard (i.e. moving toward democracy in the middle east). I think good Muslims need to take a stand against those who distort their religion.
I trust the president. He says what he believes.
I have never had dillusions about civil liberties in this country. Based on that I don't see civil liberties eroding. Historically governement in this country has always been too powerful.
I feel no threat from communists
I am not a Christian and I am not threatened by non-Christians.
As a rule I respect those who respect me. I also assume people are good and honest until they show otherwise.
