Letting the Terrorists Win

George W. Bush's concessions to terrorists since 9/11:

1. Keeping the citizenry in a state of fear
   
2. Making the citizenry less free
   
3. Starting an ill-conceived holy war
   
4. Alienating our country from its allies
   
5. Allowing Osama bin Laden to remain at large
   
6. Letting the Saudis off the hook for their role in terrorism
   
7. Engineering the most effective recruitment strategy since the Hitler Youth by inspiring innumerable peoples across the world to hate us so much that they actually join al Qaeda
   

And now a Republican Senator from Arkansas has introduced a bill to remove all the sunset provisions from the Patriot Act, giving permanence to the second item. On the other hand, senators on both sides are working to scale back the Patriot Act.
