I know I'm not going about this the right way, (when starting a debate, I should also voice my opinion - but I'm a bit lazy right now.)

Which would you rather have more of: Political freedoms, or physical security? The ability to speak out, and criticize the government, or be able to vote, etc, etc, or protection from other hostile countries, and terrorists?

Political freedom. A country that doesn't have those doesn't deserve to be defended.

Surely Political Freedom , Physical Security is An Excuse for Stealing Money (George Bush As Example) Freedom Of Having An Own Opinion is The Strongest Weapon A Human Can Have , Some People Cannot Understand that , Those People Are The People that Will Say That Physical Security Is More Important Freedom. Also Terrorists Go Crazy Because Americans Attack Their Country . I'm Not Saying Saddam Was good etc. But The Iraqi People Are In a Much Badder Situation Then before Bush Attacked Iraq.
I Hope George Bush Get's Killed by the CIA or Some Asassin

i believe that freedom of thoughts is the most important thing. or would you like to live in a country ruled by a dictator? of course i dont want to live in fear, but why should polictical freedom and physical security not both exist?

You can't effectively have one without the other, so this isn't really going to go anywhere.

The question was which would you rather have more of. (Yes, it was phrased "Which would you rather have," but they mean the same thing, really.)
