If we allow fear to paralyze us, then the terrorists win.

Duh.

How else might our actions affect them?

• • •

If in our legitimate desire for security we surrender basic freedoms, the terrorists advance two spaces.

If our way of life, our civil liberties, are sacrificed, the terrorists get a free spin.

If all the CTs die or the bomb goes off in a target zone, the terrorists get a warp whistle.

If we vote, the terrorists lose a turn.

If we don't buy FDNY gas masks or American flag bibles, then the terrorists slap each other on the back and just laugh and laugh like it's the funniest thing in the goddamn world.

If we shut down government offices, the terrorists get $1 off on specially marked packages of Kraft Cheese 'n' Macaroni..

If the President, and Congress, overreact, the terrorists get a 1-up.

If the black hood of government is drawn down over freedom's beacon, the terrorists throw a raging kegger.

Step on a crack, break a terrorist's back.
