Terrorists seek two things:

Make life a living hell for those they attack.
Anyone who lost a family member or a friend in the 9/11 attacks knows what I'm talking about. Enough said.
Drive a wedge between those allied to fight back at them.
Three words: divide and conquer. It's an ancient tactic that, today, has a new name: fouth-generation warfare.

When it comes to #2, Chris Matthews et. al. is helping big-time. More on the flip...

How Matthews is helping: by comparing bin Laden to Michael Moore, an American exercising his Constitutional rights to free speech.
How Scarborough is helping: by asserting that you are either with President Bush or you are with the terrorists.
How Rove is helping: by asserting that Democrats are treasonous traitors.

If we allow these men to do this, then the terrorists have won. Period. They've won because they will have destroyed America by destroying what we stand for: the freedom to say what we think no matter if it agrees with official government policy.

Ours is a government of the people, for the people and by the people as enshrined in the US Constitution. As such, we must always, always, always fight to defend it against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Those that tell you otherwise are simply asking you to defend George W. Bush.
