I want to challenge Snipe

[All-American]

One evil deed is not worse than a million evil deeds. Committing an evil deed yourself in order to prevent somebody else from committing a million evil deeds?

If we, as a nation, ever degenerate to the point where we permit our hands to be stained by such atrocities, we will be fighting to protect a country that won't be worth protecting. We will have diminished the ideals upon which this country is founded-- a crime made all the worse, having been done in the name of preserving them.

I know there is often a balance between order and liberty, and it is not always possible to have both in the preferred abundance. I just hope that, as we discuss where that balance lies between freedom and safety, we really believe that there are some things worth dying for.
