Attempted suicide bomber arrested in D.C.

It's a matter of when, not if someone will attack the U.S. or Canada....but everyone's so paranoid about the government, I worry ppl will blame the gov. Either in the form of the inevitable conspiracy theory, or similar to Iraq/Afghanistan where there was a constant and common moan about Western aggression being to blame. Really? 1993, 1998 and 2000 (b4 Bush was elected) are good examples. It's not so much what we do, as who we are that they hate. Freedom of expression, capitalism and religious freedoms go against their ultimate goal of repression. We shouldn't have our rights compromised, but it is a very real and important issue. I hear alot of ppl suggesting otherwise.
