This is a very touchy subject. As a creative person and a musician I am afraid that one of the side effects (if not the main effect) of the above mentioned War on Terror will be a crackdown on civil rights in many of the nations in the "western world". I am not necessarily a pacifist but I am concerned and I guess I am not the only one.
I found a lot of food for thought at:

I do not necessarily patronize it but it can be an interesting reading.
Enjoy Exclamation

That site might be "food for thought" but after reading one page, I found it turned my stomach - bad food. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad
