I do think that my freedoms, aswell as every other american citizen in the U.S, are being limited because of the war. The goverments grasp on the U.S, it being just a simple shake of agreement by the hand, to a demanding hold almost as if they have a gun pointed to our head. It might seem that the war on terrioism is being justly fought, but the goverment has to know when it's enough and let the "terrorist" country deal on it's own, because all the U.S. is doing is avoiding it's own problems by looking like the biggest and the toughest. Each day laws of any kind are being pushed to their constitutional limits, from protest to propaganda that is negative towards the war and the U.S. forces. So, in fact, I do think that my freedoms are being limited during this war.

I think our freedoms are being limited during this war due to our phone calls being censored and our internet sessions being recorded. We cant say anything related to the Taliban or Islam or we are accused of being a criminal. Its like our 1st amendment is a piece of paper thats been crumpled. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion is being tattered around with. The President is so into war that is seems like he wants drafts.
In America we live in a day of age where terrorism has finally been brought out from its third country beginnings. Many say we have lost many of our rights too this war, but it is necessary. It is like the example of a man on a bus. If one of them men in the bus had a gun wouldn’t you want to know? A bomb can be much worst and yet we are complaining for the looking through of our property. There have been no rights violated in this war only limitation placed on the people. We need to be more responsible and considerate of our safety.
I do thinks that some of my freedoms are being limited but not all that much. we still have the values that our country was founded on but there are just some different restrictions on some of the areas. For example Airport security is much tougher now confiscating more and more every year. BUt, i think this is a great thing in trying to make our country a much safer terror free environment. ALTHOUGH some of our lives have been altered for better or worse it is still in an attempt to make our country the safest in the world and I think that that is worth it. - Daniel Randell
I think that the freedoms are being limited during this war because the military people are showing drafts to people and if they don't join the army, then you go to jail. More drafts are being shown and the military people are making people to join the army because of the World War I. World War I is getting to a end and many countries are being developed which makes more allies. But we are lucky today that there are no more drafting in this country.
I do think that my freedoms are being limited during this war beacuse even though we can rally and protest against our president and his decisions, we will still get in trouble for some of the things we might say and i think that the us citizens should be updated and on track with everything concerning where they are living and ofcourse there are some things that the government does not like for us to know or even find out.Thats how i think some of our freedoms are being limited
i d0 think that some of our freedoms are starting to be limited because of this war but its things that right now as a country cant be noticed s0 much. Alot of people are being sent out to war with no choice at all even if they dont wanna go n have a big problem they still have to do someting that has to do with war wether they stay in the united states or they get drafted to another country. Also we cant even complain about it because its the presidents disicion n he aint g0nna do anything about changing this.
I do think that freedoms are being limited during the war. The reason is because many americans are dieing in the war. This is not fair to them. Besides this america is trying to persuae people to join the army to gain freedom, when your actually not. The government even wants to prohibit people who state what the war really is.
