. This is something that can be chalked up as a learning experience for our country. When the smoke has cleared, people will scratch their heads and wonder what happened during these times. It is a pattern established by our nation many generations ago, and unfortunately, it continues. Maybe this time we will actually get it right and not let it happen again. The United States, widely viewed as the greatest nation in the world, needs to set a standard here. Something needs to be included in the constitution that would curb this practice of restricting rights during a time of crisis. Maybe a waiting period could be instituted that would end the process of rash decisions such as those that were recently made by our government. We as the people need to stand up to our government so that we can look back on these times in regret of what happen to our people instead of what government did in response....
