Even if some here have many doubts about any war on terror, the United States COULD conceivably have an enemy--one that wishes to take advantage of an opportunity to strike at us (and it could come from anywhere, I have no idea). However, in wanting all this change in the Constitution, or our power levels in NATO, the UN etc.--or even if the idea we hate our country (others may easily confuse 'Bush' with 'our country') is put forth, even accidentally, or by misinterpretation, we may be opening the door for such an attack.

I think we must always remember to consider how an action is PERCEIVED by other nations around the world (not just what we mean, but how it is TAKEN by others.) Thus, tearing up the Constitution may not be a good idea from that point alone.
