This is so true. Each moment the U.S. throws one of its principles to the wind is a moment of weakness.
The United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights...there aren't mere words. The further the nation deviates from the terms outlined therein, the greater its chance of becoming weakened.
If anything, the terrorists
want the U.S. to break laws, to break from morals, to break principles. Once those are lost, what does it have left?
