I'm not saying "just move on" at all. You can't protect our liberties by removing them. The laws that have been passed in the wake of 9/11 have removed a lot of the rights and liberties we used to take for granted.

You also can't protect what we made by building up walls. Life continues to move forward, and if we go into a hibernation, locking away the rest of the world, we'll one day wake up and realize that the world has passed us by.

I agree that 9/11 shouldn't define America. I disagree with the "just move on" mentality. A lot of people died and are STILL dying from the 9/11 attacks in NYC. How can we "move on" if people still continue to get sick and die. <br /> Its not a case of living in fear now, its protecting what we made, this country, our people, our liberties. So now, we take a few more pre-cautions. </p> I agree with some parts but disagree with others. I agree that 9/11 shouldn't define America. I disagree with the "just move on" mentality.
