Another way you can look at it is, it could be a way to SAVE your freedoms. That's kind of like: we had to destroy the village in order to save it.
Or, Janet Reno: we had to kill the children in order to save them.
Perhaps it won't matter, because our 200 year old country will not have the citizens to stomach this war - so we will just be annilated.
Maybe that's the ULTIMATE Freedom.
