Your wrong on both accounts. Its not for oil and its not for our protection. Its about expanding the size and power of the government. Governments always try to expand their power and influance, and always try to gain more control over people. In this case they passed all the laws to gain more power over us.

If you don't believe that, all you have to do is look at the actual laws passed. Things like the Patriot Act is almost never used against terrorists, its nearly always used in criminal cases. Thats all fine and good except it was sold to the people as being needed for terrorists not for criminals. And is just an example of how they took advantage of the attack to shove laws down the throats of scared americans.
