Re: If only the NSA protected MY information with such zeal.

It is a good question.

How many deaths are acceptable to protect freedom and democracy before we should just give up?

I'd say we start at an average of several hundred a day over a few years. The UK lost about 500,000 in WWII and I think we all agree those deaths were not wasted. All countries have more people today but at the same time todays generation are more willing to give up, so past numbers may be close.

A follow up question should be how we are fighting terrorism. The permanent nature of the terror war, and it's increasing expansion without clear objectives should have people asking why we are in this war and better yet, exactly who are the enemies?
